Mailchimp didn't buy our software. They bought a de-risked relationship.

For a year before the acquisition, Mailchimp watched LemonStand work as an integration partner. Responsive, careful, honest when things were unclear. By the time they ran diligence they already knew the thing diligence usually can’t surface: whether they could trust us to handle ambiguity without creating chaos. The relationship had answered the hardest question before anyone opened a spreadsheet.
