Our platform combines our proprietary data and application layers into one vertically-integrated solution with advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities. This enables business users of any skill level to harness their data in order to send the right message at the right time across email, short message service (“SMS”), and push notifications, more accurately measure and predict performance, and deploy the specific actions and campaigns that drive the highest impact. Our reviews add-on allows our customers to collect product reviews within our platform to provide a seamless experience across the customer lifecycle, and our Customer Data Platform (“CDP”) offering gives customers user-friendly ways to track new types of data, transform and cleanse data, run more advanced reporting and predictive analysis to drive revenue growth, and sync data in to and out of Klaviyo at scale. We focused on marketing automation within eCommerce as our first application use case, and we believe our software is highly extensible across a broad range of functions and verticals. As of June 30, 2024, our platform had efficiently scaled to over 151,000 customers. Today, our customers primarily operate within the retail and eCommerce vertical. Due to the flexibility and adaptability of our technology, we also see organic growth from customers in other verticals, such as education, events and entertainment, restaurants, and travel, as well as from business-to-business (“B2B”) companies. See the section below titled “Key Performance Metrics – Customers” for additional information on how we define customers and customers outside of retail.

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, our NRR was 112% and 119%, respectively. We implemented a price increase in September 2022, which positively increased revenue growth in 2022 and 2023.

The decrease in these measures from June 30, 2023 to June 30, 2024 was largely driven by lapping the one-year anniversary of this price increase.
