History
Streak was founded in 2011 by Aleem Mawani, a former Google product manager, and Omar Ismail. It was accepted into Y Combinator's Summer 2011 class and graduated from the accelerator in early 2012. It has received $1.9 million in venture capital. The company held a soft launch of its platform in January 2012; it entered open beta in March of that year.

Product

It added email read receipts to its platform in early 2014.
