SendGrid/Mandrill/Mailgun are great! We've built a much needed layer on top of those services, that focuses on email content and customer experience.

"but I don't think you're solving a problem that hasn't yet found a solution." - eliminates like 95% of companies.

Altavista worked ok, but I'm glad Google came along.

I think that your comment isn't a bad one, but should go more in depth. Some markets really are unassailable - others aren't. The reasons are many and sometimes complex, so analyzing one is often quite interesting.

I don't think unfunco is suggesting that the market is unassailable. The point seemed to be that this problem wasn't one that needed to be solved (because there were already solutions), not that there isn't room for another solution-provider.
