TL;DR We’ve experienced an astonishing year and a half. In 2018 we raised two rounds of funding: a Series A of $10.5 million and a Series B of $35 million. That investment helped us become one of the fastest growing companies in FinTech. Today we’re excited to share we’ve secured another round for an additional $200 million–accelerating our vision. This round of funding was led by NEA with participation by Pelion and Insight Ventures, both of whom participated in our previous rounds.
To achieve our vision, Divvy will need to be much more than the best payment, budgeting and expense reporting solution. Rather, we’ll need to continue to innovate faster and with more precision internally, and with our clients and partners. If we do that correctly we believe Divvy will become the financial nervous system of every company; the indispensable part of the finance tech stack for a team to manage their spending before it actually happens (not just after). We’re creating an entirely new category—we call it pre-spend management — and every single company needs it.
What Salesforce was to revenue, account management, and the VP of Sales, Divvy will be to spending, expenses, and the VP of Finance. Imagine one platform that can manage all cash flow for finance leaders, both cash in and cash out. It would not only cover employee expenses, but bill pay for vendors, short-term cash flow needs to grow the business, and much, much more. The kicker? All of it is wrapped in delightful, easy-to-use software. And it’s all…..free. Really. Free.
Oh, and did we mention growth?
Here are a few numbers to put our growth into context:
- In early 2018 we had a handful of customers, today we are approaching 3,000.
- Sustained month-over-month revenue growth of 30% – 50%
- There were 1,531,859 transactions on Divvy’s platform during 2018.
- Our clients have created almost 20,000 budgets within Divvy, which means they have far more visibility, control, and ability to prevent overspending.
- Our clients have created hundreds of thousands of virtual credit cards within Divvy, which prevents vendors from overcharging and eliminates single-card risk.
