How will the funding be used?
The funds will enable Vertice to accelerate its global growth revenue, expand engineering and commercial teams, and develop the platform.
“SaaS costs are rising at an extremely rapid rate, and companies everywhere are struggling to keep their budgets under control and manage their complex renewal schedules,” says Eldar Tuvey, Vertice co-CEO, and co-founder. “We have engineered Vertice to radically simplify SaaS purchasing, eliminating wasted cycles and freeing up finance teams to focus on core areas of the business.”
B2B SaaS purchasing platform
Founded by Roy and Eldar Tuvey, Vertice is designed to help businesses intelligently reduce their annual software spend by 20-30% and streamline the purchasing process.
The Tuvey brothers have two decades of experience running enterprise SaaS companies – ScanSafe and Wandera, which exited for $200M (Cisco) and $400M (JAMF).
Tuveys established Vertice to improve the process of purchasing SaaS products through their deep market knowledge and first-hand experience.
The solution is designed for finance, IT, and procurement teams.
Vertice has been operating in stealth mode since H2 2021, working closely with a group of selected European organisations to stress-test its solution.
Vertice is headquartered in London and maintains a presence throughout Europe and North America.
