Our take
Vertice is a quickly growing scaleup offering companies new tech spend management solutions. It combines agentic workflows, AI insights and expert negotiation services to provide finance leaders with more control over their spending. The explosion of business-critical SaaS over recent years has seen corporate spend balloon, and ecosystems are only getting knottier, which is why Vertice is helping maximise the efficiency and quality of its clients' SaaS procurement. The solution is designed for finance, IT, and procurement teams.
Vertice’s founders are veterans of the SaaS scene, having created and ultimately successfully sold ScanSafe and Wandera over the past two decades.
With deep knowledge of the SaaS market, substantial resources, and crucial experience, Vertice is already in the running for market leadership and reached number 2 on the Sunday Times Tech 100 List in 2026. With impressive funding from the likes of Bessemer, Lakestar and 83North, it is focused on global revenue growth, expanding its commercial and customer-facing teams, and further developing its platform.
