Werksmail is a web-based email service designed for small teams. It aims to improve collaboration by allowing emails to be shared and commented on by multiple users. The service will have an API that enables other applications to access inbox data. Werksmail positions itself as a more social and integrated email solution than competitors like Google Apps. It must still add some features before launch such as supporting external email accounts and migrations from other services.
Werksmail pitch
- 1. Werksmail chic web-based email for small teams werkhaus milano / werksmail.com
- 2. 2433 Unread Emails Is An Opportunity For An Entrepreneur
- 3. Small businesses need to manage email effectively
- 4. Two Great Ideas: • What if your highrise/basecamp account could talk to your inbox? • What if your inbox could talk to your boss's inbox, so everyone know what's going on?
- 6. No data portabilty! • There's no email service that provides a convenient api for external services. • Practically impossible for your other applications to mine your inbox.
- 7. Your inbox is asocial! • Bill e-mails Fred and Mary. Fred decides Bob should be in on the conversation too, so he replies and CCs Bob. • Mary replies to the first e-mail and Bob misses out on her reply. • Then Fred doesn’t want to take part anymore, but still keeps getting everybodys’ replies and can’t opt out. • Later there’s an argument about who said what and who got it, and people have to trawl through badly formatted quotes at the bottom of old e-mails to work out what actually happened.
- 8. This is where we come in!
- 9. How we do it • every member of your team gets an email account @company.werksmail.com • add a domain name to get aliases like @company.com • assign/share emails with someone else in your team • comments/notes on an email are visible to everyone
- 10. How we do it • REST api that exposes your messages to external services • Third party apps can now mine your inbox!
- 11. Werksmail.com Try it! It's great!
- 12. Monthly subscriptions 7-10 $ per user
- 13. Competition Google apps, Mailroom, Relenta and potentially Google wave
- 14. Strenghts • Specifically geared towards small businesses • Designed to have an API => an ecosystem would develop (difficult to replicate by competitors) • Easy to adopt
- 15. To-dos before launch • Add support for external email accounts • Migrations from gmail/other imap accounts • Speak IMAP!
