Vision
& Mission

We believe businesses need to adopt a message-first mindset to succeed. Our vision is to create the AI-powered infrastructure of the future to make this as easy as possible; enabling businesses to operate the full flywheel - marketing, sales, transactions, customer experience -all within the customer’s thread of choice.

Founder
Story

Connectly was founded by Stefanos Loukakos (ex-Director, Head of Messenger & Blockchain at Facebook) and Yandong Liu (ex-CTO of Strava and Engineer at Uber) who met through a friend in the founder community. With a shared passion for messaging - between Stefanos’ role at Facebook and Yandong’s role leading a highly successful SMS initiative to onboard Uber drivers - they launched Connectly to help businesses make the most of their customer messages in an increasingly complex ecosystem.
