What Skysnag does

Skysnag is a privately held SaaS company founded in 2021 and headquartered in San Francisco, California, that provides an autonomous email authentication and deliverability platform. The company targets IT teams, marketing departments, and managed service providers (MSPs), with named customers spanning hospitality (Mett Hotels and Resorts, Sunset Hospitality), legal services (QuisLex), technology (Liquibase, SignWell, CloudForecast), e-commerce (Rush Order Tees), and marketing (OMR). It is co-founded by Heba El Houjairy and Jad Aizarani (CEO).

The platform is built around six integrated modules: Monitor (real-time email intelligence and threat monitoring), Comply (Microsoft, Google, and Yahoo sender compliance), Protect (DMARC enforcement with guided policy progression), Certify (BIMI digital trademark certification), Validate (email verification and bounce elimination), and BrandGuard (look-alike domain and brand impersonation protection). Underlying technology covers DMARC, SPF, DKIM, BIMI, MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, and DANE protocols with an autonomous configuration engine that auto-discovers sending sources and configures DNS records without requiring specialist expertise. The company claims 7x faster DMARC enforcement than the 6-12 month industry average, 99.9% uptime SLA, and 1,000+ sending service integrations.

Skysnag operates a hybrid go-to-market model: product-led growth via a free 14-day trial with no credit card required, enterprise field sales for larger deployments with custom pricing, and an MSP/Partner channel program. Revenue is generated through annual SaaS subscriptions with auto-renewal at the higher of 5% or current list price; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company maintains compliance certifications including SOC 2 Type II, SOC 3, GDPR, CCPA, CSA Star Level 1, Cyber Essentials, and PCI-DSS, with regional data hosting available in the US, EU, UK, and Middle East. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures have been publicly disclosed.
