The Remote Company

What The Remote Company does

The Remote Company is a private, remote-first holding entity that develops and operates a portfolio of B2B SaaS products. Founded in 2014 originally to provide 24/7 customer support for the MailerLite marketing automation platform, the company built a distributed organization of 140+ employees spanning 40+ countries over nearly a decade. In 2022, Vercom acquired MailerLite and its subsidiary products MailerSend (transactional email) and MailerCheck (email deliverability) for $90 million, removing the company's flagship revenue-generating asset but establishing a partnership channel in the CPaaS market. The Remote Company continues to operate independently with a retooled product portfolio.

The current product portfolio comprises three cloud-based SaaS solutions: Outchat, an AI-powered chat platform that enables users to train and monetize custom branded AI chatbots built on proprietary knowledge bases; Partnero, a partnership management platform offering customizable affiliate and referral programs with AI-powered optimization, integrated with Shopify, WooCommerce, and Stripe; and Ycode, a visual no-code website development platform. Revenue is generated through SaaS subscriptions distributed globally via self-serve, product-led channels without disclosed pricing tiers, targeting horizontal SMB and SaaS/e-commerce customer segments.

The business model emphasizes a remote-first operating culture as both an internal talent strategy and an external brand differentiator, with annual employee benefits (home office budgets, personal development allowances, workations, creative days) supporting distributed productivity. Customer acquisition historically scaled through the MailerLite brand to over 2 million businesses, providing foundational distribution capability, while remaining products serve SMBs and SaaS/e-commerce businesses through freemium-style PLG onboarding. The company is headquartered in New York with distributed operations across North America, LATAM, and Europe, and no venture capital or private equity funding rounds have been disclosed.
