Recent changes in email clients made it possible to embed a whole website inside an email. We've built the first email builder that lets Shopify brands create emails that are fully interactive like websites. Zaymo emails decrease friction and increase conversion for product marketing and data collection.

I believe that to create is core to humanity, so I love to build things. In college, I was very involved at the world's largest student-run venture firm and worked in the corporate strategy group of a public YC company. I met Santiago and Danny at a university hackathon, and we decided to work together on Zaymo before dropping out to raise a pre-seed. I like to be outside. Catch me skiing, rock climbing, and running when I'm not building.
Santiago Gomez Paz
I'm CPO at Zaymo. I worked with Google’s Gmail team to be one of the first companies to send interactive emails, improving completion rates by 3x. I also developed a framework to embed mini-apps in Apple Mail. Before Zaymo, I was doing syntethic data research at MIT. I'm from Argentina 🇦🇷, served an LDS (mormon) mission in South Korea 🇰🇷 and love playing tennis.

Before Zaymo I did enterprise software sales for an early startup and started a coaching program. I've lived in Germany, New Zealand, and Russia and enjoy trail running, big ideas, and chess

problem
- 1 - 3% conversion rates at best from e-commerce emails
- However, e-commerce stores attribute ~20 - 30% of total revenue to email marketing
- Interactive emails work well, but cross-platform compliance means implementation requires several hours of coding for a single email

backstory
As a PM, Co-founder Santi led Turing.com to adopt interactive emails after proving out a 3x conversion rate boost in A/B tests. After unsuccessfully searching for 3rd-party tools, his team built the functionality into their internal tool.
Santi knew in-email interactivity should be more accessible to marketers, and Zaymo was born.
