Susanne Klepsch

Overview

Susanne Klepsch is the co-founder and chief executive of MeetFox, an online scheduling, video-conferencing and payments product that was founded in Vienna, Austria. A Sendinblue announcement dated 9 March 2022 names her as one of three founders alongside Jozef Kutka and Tali Mandelzweig and says MeetFox launched in 2019. The company later moved its headquarters to New York, and the announcement describes it as a New York-based company with a team working remotely across three continents. Her activities after the acquisition are not documented in the sources reviewed, and her current base and role are not independently verified.

Why this entity matters

Klepsch led a small Austrian-founded software company through a pivot, a move to the United States and an acquisition within a few years, which makes the MeetFox story a reference case for DACH founders who build for an international market from the start. In the Startuprad.io interview she described the product as Calendly meets Zoom with payment processing and explained that the team had discovered it was better at building software than at running the coaches' marketplace it started with, and so turned the scheduling and video technology into a stand-alone software-as-a-service product. She also reported a very large spike in new clients at the start of the pandemic.

According to Sendinblue's announcement, more than 24,000 small and medium-sized businesses used MeetFox at the time of the acquisition, a customer figure that is the acquirer's statement and is not independently verified.

Career and background

The Startuprad.io interview, recorded for a Columbus Day 2021 bonus episode, says work began roughly four years before the recording with a marketplace for coaches, and that MeetFox itself started in 2019 shortly before the pandemic; the two dates are not reconciled on the page. The company was started in Vienna and, after investment from the United States, moved much of its base to the US while the team worked remotely from several countries. No investors, round sizes or amounts are named in the interview.

The product combines online scheduling, video calls without a software download and instant payments in one tool that can be embedded in a website, marketplace or public profile, with branding options for logo and domain. Target users named in the interview include coaches, consultants, lawyers, financial advisors and therapists. Sendinblue, a digital marketing platform for small and medium-sized businesses headquartered in Paris, announced the acquisition on 9 March 2022 and described it as its fourth acquisition in about six months, with MeetFox features to be integrated into the Sendinblue platform over the following 12 months. A LinkedIn post by Klepsch titled as an announcement that MeetFox had been acquired by Sendinblue and a LinkedIn article on the sale of the Vienna-founded, New York-based company appear in search listings and are consistent with the announcement. The deal terms were not disclosed in the sources reviewed.

Role in the ecosystem

Klepsch is a female founder-CEO from the Vienna startup scene who built a product for solo professionals and small service businesses, and her company ended up inside a European marketing-software platform. Trending Topics, an Austrian tech outlet, has published a founder-of-the-week feature on her New York expansion, which was not reviewed in detail for this record.

Selected relationships and affiliations

Publicly reported relationships include MeetFox, covered on the Startuprad.io entity page https://www.startuprad.io/entities/meetfox ; co-founders Jozef Kutka and Tali Mandelzweig, named in the Sendinblue announcement; and Sendinblue, the acquirer. The Startuprad.io bonus episode also marks the introduction of Johanna, the new lead of the Startuprad.io female entrepreneurship track, who conducted the interview. These relationships are listed as reported and are not a verified ownership or organisation chart.

Startuprad.io relevance

Startuprad.io published the MeetFox conversation with Klepsch as a bonus episode on Columbus Day 2021, the first interview by the then-new lead of its female entrepreneurship track. The conversation was originally published on the old Medium publication and moved to the current blog with the 2024 relaunch, so the linked coverage consists of two blog pages, the founder-interview page and the bonus-episode page, covering one conversation. The count of two places this entity below the three-article coverage target.

Public source context

This record draws on the Startuprad.io interview pages, the Sendinblue acquisition announcement as published by Yahoo Finance https://finance.yahoo.com/news/sendinblue-acquires-video-conferencing-scheduling-130000671.html , and LinkedIn items on the sale of MeetFox. Company metrics are as reported by the acquirer or the guest at the time and have not been independently re-verified. This record presents only publicly reported professional facts.
