Kustomer joined Meta’s Business Messaging Group to transform the way people and businesses communicate through modern messaging channels.  In 2023, Kustomer spun out from Meta as a standalone company backed by original partners, Battery, Redpoint and Boldstart Ventures, who have invested $60M in capital, ensuring Kustomer’s growth and success for many years to come.
