SaaSOptics, the leading subscription management platform designed for emerging and growth B2B SaaS and subscription-based businesses, announced today it has secured a $12 million Series B investment led by Fulcrum Equity Partners. The investment consists of a combination of equity and debt, including a line of credit from Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and comes on the heels of a record-breaking Q3 with 70 percent growth in new Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) bookings over Q2 2019 and the addition of a record 66 new customers. The funding round will help SaaSOptics continue to scale sales, marketing, customer success and support teams while adding more engineering and product management resources to extend its total addressable market.
Since its Series A funding round in January 2018, also led by Fulcrum Equity Partners, SaaSOptics has continued on an impressive growth trajectory, increasing total ARR by 105 percent, adding nearly 50 employees and growing its customer base by 58 percent, bringing the number of B2B SaaS businesses that rely on SaaSOptics to over 600.

As a result, B2B SaaS businesses are turning to SaaSOptics to automate their financial operations at an earlier stage and generate SaaS metrics and analytics that will help them get funded and stay funded.”
