About Mercoa

Mercoa allows Vertical SaaS companies to launch BillPay & Invoicing to their customers in three weeks. Vertical SaaS is a quickly growing (13% growth year over year) segment of software companies that provide a financial-one-stop-shop solution to customers in their vertical. For example, a Vertical SaaS company in the restaurant industry would let customers buy supplies, pay their employees, manage orders, take payments, secure financing, close their books, and everything else needed to run and manage a restaurant. Examples of large Vertical SaaS companies today include:

• ServiceTitan
• Shopify
• Toast
• MindBody

We realized Vertical SaaS companies are actively looking to launch financial products like Invoicing, BillPay, Banking, working capital, and more to their audience but want a partner to help them do so. It’s a rare opportunity to build a product that directly enables customers to make more money. With Mercoa, we’re helping our customers make millions of dollars in revenue by launching a brand new line of business. We want to help every Vertical SaaS company be the “Bill.com” for their vertical.
