Goodmail Systems Raises $20 Million

  • November 24, 2008
E-mail services provider Goodmail Systems has raised $20 million in a financing round led by Bessemer Venture Partners. DCM, Emergence Capital Partners and Softbank Capital also participated in the round.

The new funding will enable Goodmail to enhance CertifiedEmail so that non-spam messages with multimedia and active content can also be delivered and opened with complete security.

The funding comes on the heels of a major milestone for the CertifiedEmail standard, which in September exceeded 3 billion messages per month, a 30-fold increase compared to one year ago.

Goodmail CertifiedEmail attempts to provide a safe and reliable means for consumers to easily identify authentic messages from legitimate commercial and non-profit senders with whom they have a pre-existing relationship.

CertifiedEmail messages are delivered directly to the inbox past content and volume filters with all links and images rendered by default, and displayed with a blue ribbon envelope in the e-mail interface.
