We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility. The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the [4th fastest growing startup](https://sifted.eu/leaderboards/sifted-future-50-2025) in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for. Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like [Ben](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-freeman-a8542166/), [Abs](https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhirukt/), [Sabrina](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scastiglione/), and [Rebe](https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecatristan/).
