Philosophy
We're building developer-first WhatsApp infrastructure. That means our product is not a bundle of features; it is the path a developer takes from curiosity to first success. This page is not a list of corporate values. It is how we choose, how we ship, and how we behave when no one is watching.

Lean Way
At SendZen, how we build the company is as important as what we build. We are not a typical SaaS startup chasing headcount or vanity metrics. Our philosophy is rooted in being lean, staying radically transparent, and cultivating a culture that values ownership and speed.

Product-Led Growth
At SendZen, we don't believe in forcing demos or sales calls. Developers don't want to be sold to - they want to try, test, and see value quickly. Our go-to-market strategy is Product-Led Growth (PLG).

Developer Tips
Host APIDog in a Subfolder on Vercel with Next.js
We use APIDog for our API documentation and wanted to host it under subfolder on our next.js website running on Vercel. When we searched for it on internet, we couldn't find anything. APIDog's docs cover Nginx and Caddy, but there was no working guide for Vercel/Next.js.
