Rainforest, who is a self -proclaimed claimant to the fintech giant StripeBills as a supplier of “payments as a service”. Simply put, it goals to assist in vertical software corporations to enable the processing of payments for their buyers.
CEO and founder Joshua Silver believes that Rainforest stands out from competitors equivalent to Stripe and Adaen in the indisputable fact that it was “specially built” for vertical software platforms. He claims that these corporations initially built platforms for buyers “and then modernized for software platforms.”
“Payment providers who share their attention between platforms and sellers can never really prioritize the needs specific to the platform, such as residual reports and seller management,” said Silver Crunchbase News. “On the other hand, our entire road map is opportunities that help software companies to earn built -in payments.”
The rainforests were raised A series – a round value $ 20 million – in June 2024. Since then, the company recorded an annual increase in revenues by 10x, in accordance with Silver, which refused to reveal hard revenues.
“In about two years we developed from hundreds of millions of dollars of the engraved volume to process billions of volume live,” said Silver Crunchbase News.
This style of growth led investors to double their investments in the rainforest.
“Numbers say size,” said Matrix partner Matt Brown via E -Mail. “… Rainforest managed to become a diverse, trusted partner on platforms worth a billion dollars with the Lean team and in a record time.”

Rainforest refused to disclose what valuation he had raised his series B, and Silver noticed that he was “several times higher” than the last round.
Finding the market
Silver previously founded PatientSaa health care, which he sold to Waistar (which was made public in 2024). Before the start of the rainforest, Silver said that he consulted with over 50 SaaS corporations and got here to the conclusion that many of them weren’t satisfied with existing built -in payments suppliers.

Healthcare, non-profit and home organizations are the fastest growing segments of Rainforest activities, followed by education, local government and skilled services.
Like many other startups, the company has implemented some AI tools, but in accordance with Silver, people cannot expect.
“Although the technology industry is excited about artificial intelligence, the same technology also helps fraudsters to evolve faster and avoid traditional fraud detection tools based on rules,” he said. Therefore, Rainforest updated his risk management systems to contain AI tools that were designed to cooperate with the risk -specific risk model “to overtake fraudsters”.
Another way in which Rainforest differs from some competitors is that his revenue model is completely based on consumption, similar to cloud services. Instead of charging a monthly fee for a platform or industrial, the company claims that it requires a “small” percentage reduction of each transaction processed by its platform.
What next
Looking to the future, Rainforest plans to make use of its latest capital for more employment (currently it has over 40 employees), expand to Canada and proceed product development, equivalent to Tap-to-Telefon, which allows sellers to make use of mobile phones as terminals, not reserved terminals. The company also plans so as to add alternative payment methods and fintech orchestration.
