## Meet AhaSend's founders

[Farhad](https://www.linkedin.com/in/fhedayatifard/) created AhaSend out of necessity. When Farhad was working on several previous startups he soon realised that the quality and speed of delivery for transactional emails with other providers was not good. And the pricing, the pricing with other providers just does not feel fair. Why pay for a higher tier that is mostly unused? This is why Farhad decided to do it for himself. AhaSend was born ❤️.

When [Mark](https://www.linkedin.com/in/markkraakman/), with his experience at CYSO and having served as CEO at Hosting.NL, discovered that many European businesses were searching for a European alternative to the likes of SendGrid, Mailgun, Amazon SES, and Mandrill, he knew there was a significant market need. From his role in the European cloud industry, he had been actively looking for that European alternative himself. When he came into contact with AhaSend, he immediately saw that this was *the* European alternative that needed to be built out and brought to market.
