History
The company was founded in 2013 by Andrew Bialecki and Ed Hallen.[12] Both Bialecki and Hallen had previously worked at Applied Predictive Technologies.[11]
In August 2022, e-commerce company Shopify announced it was making Klaviyo the recommended email solution partner for its Shopify Plus merchant platform, with a US$100,000,000 strategic investment into the company.[13][14]
In November 2022, Klaviyo announced its first acquisition, code development firm Napkin.io.[15]
In April 2023, Klaviyo filed for an initial public offering (IPO) for a listing at the New York Stock Exchange.[11][16] In September, the company went public, raising $576 million in the IPO at a $9.2 billion valuation.[17][18]
In June 2023, Klaviyo partnered with e-commerce platform Prestashop with the launch of Prestashop Automation with Klaviyo [19][20]
In 2023, Klaviyo first introduced AI-powered features, which as of 2025 include Marketing Agent, which automates campaign planning and optimization,[21] and Customer Agent, which provides 24/7 customer service automation.[22] The launches reflected the company's expansion from a marketing automation platform toward an AI-powered B2C CRM platform integrating customer data, automation, and omnichannel engagement.[23]
In 2024, the Klaviyo Marketing Platform was localised into six non-English languages, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese.[24] In 2025 the platform was further localised into Dutch, Polish, Mexican Spanish and Swedish.[25]
In August 2025, Klaviyo announced it had acquired Gatsby, a customer engagement platform.[26] The acquisition expands the Klaviyo platform's capabilities to include social media marketing.[27]
