PARIS– June 20, 2023– Hyperline, the most flexible revenue platform for B2B SaaS businesses, launched today by introducing a radically simple pricing and billing solution that solves two of the most critical aspects of running a business: setting prices and getting paid. The company’s platform guides users to the right pricing models for their customers’ needs and ensures billing according to that model is seamless. This results in a better experience for customers and increased revenue for businesses.

Hyperline made its debut, opening its private beta, with €4 million in seed funding. The round was led by Index Ventures, with participation from Cocoa. Additionally, Hyperline secured support from several prominent angels, including Rodolphe Ardant and Guilhem Bellion, founders of Spendesk; Steve Avani, co-founder of Qonto; as well as Thibaud Elziere and Quentin Nickmans, co-founders of Hexa (formerly efounders) and Nico Rosberg, former Formula 1 World Champion. Funds will be used to invest in feature development, enhance the user experience and build a team of top engineering talent.

The Hyperline difference

In recent years, pricing and billing have become more complex with companies leveraging modern pricing techniques to optimize prices for each different use case, often using personalized models for different groups of customers.  . Existing solutions have been unable to adapt, requiring companies to pull in help from engineering teams and divert resources away from product innovation to assist with a core business function. By contrast, Hyperline puts revenue teams in control so that each customer gets the best possible plan for their needs, with the most suitable billing and pricing options. With greater flexibility, organizations of all sizes ensure they capture revenue that they may have otherwise missed.

“If you get pricing and billing wrong, you don't have a business. Having a flexible revenue engine is the key to the success of SaaS businesses and those that continue to rely on legacy solutions leave money on the table,” said Julia Andre, Partner at Index Ventures. “Hyperline disrupts how companies approach revenue generation by making pricing and billing one of the simplest parts of running a company."

Built for the speed of business

Hyperline makes iterations on pricing and packaging dev-free, whether a company embraces usage-based pricing, recurring billing, add-ons, or some type of hybrid. Revenue teams can implement and execute plans in minutes through Hyperline’s intuitive interface, no coding required. They can also easily adjust models at any time. Additionally, Hyperline connects with any payment providers to manage multi-currency or payment intervals. By delivering a compelling and enjoyable experience with the freedom to fine-tune pricing models and efficiently manage subscriptions, Hyperline helps businesses gain value for products and services faster.

"As an API business, our pricing model was quite complex and I knew existing billing solutions would come up short and the implementation would delay our initial go-to-market," said Jean-Louis, Founder of Gladia.io. “There are so many subtleties to be aware of when running a usage-based pricing, and costly mistakes can happen really fast. Hyperline has a very short integration process and the ability to pull data directly from our system, so it was an obvious decision on our side. The product is flawless and customer support is out of this world, so we're really happy with the tool.”

An understanding of rapid growth

Hyperline was founded and developed by Lucas Bédout, a former early employee and VP of Engineering at French unicorn Spendesk. Lucas guided Spendesk’s tech team’s growth as the company surged from less than 10 full-time employees to more than 600. There, he recognized the pain points that high-growth companies were experiencing with their billing solutions and was determined to solve their problems.

Lucas built out a talented team, with leaders from top fintech, marketplace, SaaS businesses within the French startup ecosystem, including Spendesk, Malt, Shine, Pigment, and Payfit. Hyperline is the result.

“Companies all over the world are experiencing the same issues with unwieldy, outdated billing systems. They need something different, something built around their needs that can grow with them, something that can adapt to rapid changes in the economic climate. That’s why we created Hyperline,” said Lucas. “We are grateful for the support of our outstanding backers, who share our vision, and we are incredibly excited to open our beta so that even more companies can experience the benefits.”
