Sendoso
Sendoso is a San Francisco-based B2B "Sending Platform" that lets sales, marketing, and customer teams source, store, ship, and track physical gifts, direct mail, swag, eGifts, and handwritten notes at scale. Founded in 2016 by two former sales reps who noticed that a $5 coffee gift card broke through cold-email fatigue, the company wraps that instinct in software - integrating with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Marketo so a gift can be triggered like any other campaign step and measured for ROI. After raising a $100M Series C in 2021 and reaching unicorn status, Sendoso consolidated the category by acquiring rivals Alyce (2024) and Postal (2025), and now layers AI gift recommendations on top of its global fulfillment network.
FavorDrop
FavorDrop is a Buffalo, New York software company that turns customer appreciation into a measurable marketing channel. Businesses send time-bound digital gifts - loaded onto a FavorDrop Discover Network prepaid card that works anywhere Discover is accepted - to customers by text or email, then track when each gift is opened and redeemed. Founded by father-and-son team Tim and Jack Sardinia in 2021, the platform started as a way to remotely buy a friend a drink and grew into a customer-engagement and rewards tool used by car dealerships, insurers, home-services firms, restaurants and staffing agencies. A patented 'bounce back' feature returns any unredeemed gift to the sender at expiration, so unclaimed budget is reused rather than lost.
Ink'd Greetings
Ink'd Greetings is a Phoenix-based startup building self-service kiosks that let shoppers design, personalize and print a real greeting card - and optionally load a gift card onto it - in about 30 seconds for $2.99. Founded in 2023 by husband-and-wife team Andrew and Sammi Ekmark, the company is pitching a modern, on-demand alternative to the Hallmark-dominated card aisle, placing machines in malls, campus stores and retail partners. It has raised roughly $1M in seed funding (led by Hamid Shojaee of AZ Disruptors) and is expanding toward a nationwide footprint.
Xoxoday
Xoxoday is a global rewards, recognition, loyalty and incentives infrastructure platform. It helps businesses send gifts, payouts, and rewards to employees, partners, and customers across 100+ countries with a catalog of 1M+ options.
