January was a quite the month. If you don't have time for the long read here is the tl;dr AhaSend is now incorporated in The Netherlands , the Campaign Builder is nearing it's 1.0 version, we've squashed more than dozens of bugs. And last but not least we have joined Bluesky and created a Discord server.
BlueSky & Discord
We have replaced Twitter with BlueSky and created a Discord server for community updates and support.
We hope to catch up with you there!

Campaign Builder (beta)
We have been working diligently on our new Campaign Builder. Our Campaign Builder is built from the ground up, with a completely separate infrastructure and has been in beta for several weeks now. As a result of feedback from our testers we have now added a Contact Validation System which automatically validates contact lists before sending campaigns, to protect sender reputation and improve deliverability. We have also added the ability to cancel or reschedule campaigns and added Concurrent Delivery Streams to automatically scale sending based on list size (up to 25x faster for large campaigns).
Incorporated
Our high-performance infrastructure already spans multiple European countries, and today we're taking our commitment to the EMEA region even further. AhaSend has officially moved its headquarters to the Netherlands, where we're now incorporated as a Dutch B.V. More on this subject at a later date!
