Vertice Raises £40M Series C to Revolutionise Procurement with Spend Optimisation Platform

Simplifying Modern Procurement

Vertice, the leading spend optimisation platform, has announced £40 million in Series C funding led by Lakestar, with participation from Perpetual Growth and CF Private Equity. Existing investors Bessemer Venture Partners and 83North also joined the oversubscribed round, bringing Vertice’s total funding to over £80 million. This latest investment will accelerate Vertice’s growth trajectory as it expands its global footprint and enhances its innovative procurement platform.

Statements from Leadership

Roy Tuvey, Co-Founder & CEO

"After perfecting SaaS and cloud spend optimisation, we’ve brought all our data and insights directly into the workflow experience. Employees can now initiate purchases quickly and transparently, while procurement teams retain full control and customisation."

Stephen Day, CPO at Kantar

"Procurement is a complex process involving every employee, authorised or not. Vertice’s unified platform integrates data and processes, solving challenges and creating opportunities for procurement leaders and stakeholders alike."

Georgia Watson, Partner at Lakestar

"Vertice consistently executes, innovates, and drives growth metrics at scale. They are best positioned to become the unified platform of choice for modern procurement teams."

• Triple its engineering team to enhance product capabilities.

• Develop new automated features and integrations to streamline procurement processes.

Driving the Future of Procurement

Vertice aims to:
