## About Linq

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Linq provides a unified messaging API for iMessage, RCS, SMS, and voice, enabling businesses and AI agents to communicate with customers natively within their preferred messaging apps.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Birmingham, Alabama, United States (with offices in New York, NY and San Francisco, CA)
- **Founded**: 2019
- **Founders**: Elliott Potter (CEO), Patrick Sullivan (CTO), Jared Mattsson (President)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Communications API / Messaging Infrastructure
- **Target customers**: B2B – developers, AI companies, enterprises, and any organization needing programmatic messaging across iMessage, RCS, SMS, and voice.
- **Mission or purpose statement**: To be the infrastructure layer that moves business communication from clicks to conversations, making conversational tech accessible everywhere customers are.

## Products & Services
- **Linq API**: A fully documented API that lets companies send and receive iMessage, RCS, SMS, and voice messages natively. Supports rich features like emoji reactions, voice notes, typing indicators, group chats, and threaded replies. Designed for low latency (<120ms), high throughput, and SOC 2 Type II compliance.
- **Poke AI Assistant**: An AI assistant that lives inside iMessage, capable of handling tasks, answering questions, and scheduling. Sparked the pivot toward serving AI agent companies.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed (latest Series A in February 2026)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $25.5M (Pre-Seed, Seed rounds, and $20M Series A led by TQ Ventures); Annual Revenue – $8.4M (LinkedIn estimate)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: TQ Ventures (lead), Mucker Capital, Alabama Futures Fund, and angel investors.
- **Growth Signals**: Customer base expanded 132% quarter-over-quarter; net revenue retention of 295% with zero churn; facilitates 30M+ messages per month; doubled ARR in eight months after launching the iMessage API in February 2025; AI agents on the platform reach 134,000 monthly active users.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Only SOC 2 Type II iMessage API** on the market, offering native iMessage capabilities (blue bubbles) that SMS cannot replicate.
- **Encrypted data transmission** – Linq cannot access user data.
- **Cost-effective pricing** – no per-message fees for iMessage/RCS, reducing costs vs. traditional SMS.
- **Developer-first experience** – fully documented API, quick integration (<5 minutes), and dedicated integration teams.

## Strategic Focus
- **Expanding channel coverage** – moving beyond iMessage/RCS/SMS/voice to include Slack, email, Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Signal, and more.
- **Becoming the infrastructure layer for AI agents** – enabling any AI assistant to operate natively inside messaging apps without requiring a separate app.
- **Scaling the team** – using the new capital to hire across engineering, growth, and go-to-market roles.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Described as a “band of misfit tinkerers” who value speed, quality, and clear communication. Emphasizes autonomy, ownership, and continuous learning.
- **Remote/Hybrid Policy**: Hiring primarily in Birmingham, AL; New York, NY; and San Francisco, CA. Likely hybrid or in-office based on location-specific roles.
- **Benefits**: Competitive salaries + equity, medical/dental/vision insurance, 401(k) plan, flexible vacation, parental leave, books and exercise stipend, free snacks/coffee in office, regular team outings.
- **Engineering Culture**: Builds infrastructure that powers messaging at scale; focuses on API design, platform reliability, and developer experience. Open to applicants who don’t fit a specific title – “we index less on the title and more on the human.”
