Our take
Businesses today are reliant on software, and without it, they will struggle to launch, build or scale - but the right infrastructure comes at a price. Gynger is a payments platform for the buyers and sellers of technology, looking to revamp how corporations purchase the tech they need.
Gynger's stand-out feature is that it offers ‘buy now, pay later’ for technology purchases. By financing this essential component of business operations, it should allow more companies to get their hands on the tech they need without compromise. The platform also enables businesses to pay, finance and manage all of their technology expenses from one place.
Gynger has already facilitated thousands of payments across hundreds of vendors such as AWS, Salesforce and HubSpot. Its approach is certainly interesting and has piqued the interest of investors to the sum of $20 million. This funding will be used to scale its team and operations and accelerate the roadmap to its vision.
