Company mission
To make the software selling (and buying) experience surprisingly simple and delightful.
Our take
Although the flexibility afforded by software-as-a-service (SaaS) has been one of the main drivers of its uptake, the buying process for this software can be surprisingly restrictive. Most B2B providers insist on pre-payment on lengthy contracts, and this high up-front cost often causes sales to slow down and stall. Enter Cacheflow, a platform which helps to close sales by allowing customers to pay for services monthly, quarterly or with deferred payments. Think of it as a Klarna for SaaS.
By offering a solution to a persistent problem in the SaaS market, Cacheflow has carved itself out a niche with over a dozen customers, mostly startups in the Series A to C funding range. Its continued success will depend on the ease of its integrations into existing sales processes and its ability to take on the financial risk of non-paying customers purchasing services through its platform. So far, its no-code solution and ability to investigate its clients' metrics for default risk has been successful.
It's achieved significant scaling, too, a 2025 acquisition by inbound strategy marketing software leader HubSpot. Eventually, it will be integrated into HubSpot's Commerce Hub product. In the meantime, Cacheflow will continue growing its uptake among larger and more established enterprises in addition to its current customer base.
