American Airlines is operating the first U.S. flight of the Boeing 737 Max since the craft was grounded in March or 2019.

In the second interview of the $1B+ Club series, MessageBird CEO Robert Vis and one of his investors, Spark Capital GP Will Reed, discuss how they’re betting on an omnichannel platform as a service (PaaS) to change the way businesses communicate.
