"We’re blown away with the reception our second crowd raise received this week. Giving our community the chance to share in and shape our future has always been a priority, and our customers have been instrumental in the evolution of our products and services to date. Given the current economic climate, our mission to help people build wealth with confidence has never been more important. Our focus now is on finding new ways to guide and support people with financial planning throughout their lives. By continuing to focus on the under-served mass market we believe we are on a path to create the UK’s category-defining wealth platform."

"The opportunity in software is enormous, with tens of thousands of incredibly innovative businesses bringing great products to market every year. Unfortunately, many SaaS companies still find their growth hindered by the operational challenges that arise when scaling; from handling subscriptions management or tax compliance to localizing payment options in every market. Paddle was created to remove these invisible barriers so that SaaS companies can just focus on building and selling software. 2021 was a fantastic year for us, but we are only just getting started. We have big plans for 2022 and beyond and we’re delighted to have the backing of so many fantastic investors who all share our vision."
