Recurly
Recurly was founded in 2009 by Dan Burkhart, who serves as CEO. The company is headquartered in Menlo Park, California, with an office in San Francisco. Its subscription management platform automates billing, dunning, and revenue recognition for over 2,000 businesses globally. The firm targets enterprise and mid-market clients across industries including SaaS, media, and e-commerce. Recurly's platform integrates with payment gateways such as Stripe, Adyen, and PayPal, and supports recurring billing, invoicing, and analytics. Named clients include DocuSign, Schneider Electric, and Sling TV. Geographically, the firm operates primarily in North America, with expansion into Europe and Asia-Pacific through partnerships (public record). Recurly has raised over $100M in venture funding from investors including Accel, Greylock Partners, and Trinity Ventures. The company employs approximately 300 people. Recent activity includes a partnership with Verizon to offer subscription management services to small businesses (per the firm, 2024). Structurally, Recurly operates as a venture-backed software company, not a direct investment manager. Its differentiator is its focus on subscription-specific billing complexity, a niche that larger ERP platforms like Salesforce and NetSuite do not fully address. The company's regulatory posture centers on GDPR and PCI DSS compliance, with no revealed asset management or family office mandate.
