Company mission

The B2B market has remained largely untouched by the overwhelming success of “buy now, pay later” solutions and subscription services in the consumer space. topi is on a mission to change this and through its products offer business customers attractive new payment choices.

Our take

Despite radical changes in the world of B2C transactions, B2B payments are still restrictive, slow and plagued with bureaucracy. topi solves this problem by offering businesses innovative payment solutions, effectively bringing the "buy now, pay later" revolution from consumer spending to business purchases.

Topi focuses on hardware subscriptions, allowing companies to offer hardware as a service to their own business customers. Aside from providing the logistics and insurance needed in these transactions, it provides APIs that allow sellers to integrate Topi's hardware rentals to their existing sales channels. Also supporting upfront purchases and Klarna-like BNPL options, this added flexibility has proven attractive to businesses, and its initial rollout includes partners such as McSHARK, comspot and implement-it.

Topi has benefited considerably from its founders experiences at companies such as Goldman Sachs, Apple and BCG, and has leverage their expertise gained at Apple in particular, building an important partnership with Gravis, a major Apple reseller. Having also raised an impressive amount of funding, the company will need to now focus on expanding its sales and marketing efforts to reach more businesses, and to scale at pace.
