In 2008, Acumatica was founded by former Parallels employees who recognized a gap in the enterprise resource planning market: small and mid-sized businesses needed modern, cloud-based ERP solutions that were built for the digital age - not legacy systems retrofitted for the web. What started as a vision to deliver comprehensive business management software has evolved into the world's fastest-growing cloud ERP company, with 74% of resources dedicated to R&D and continuous innovation. Acumatica's Cloud ERP platform provides industry-specific solutions for construction, distribution, manufacturing, retail, professional services, agriculture, and more - enabling businesses to manage their entire operations from financials and inventory to CRM and payroll. Born in the cloud, Acumatica fosters connected, collaborative operations with a user-friendly interface that works seamlessly on any device. Through its vibrant partner ecosystem, Acumatica Open University training platform, and commitment to delivering practical AI and automation, the company empowers organizations to streamline processes, gain real-time insights, and scale efficiently in today's digital economy.

In 2020, Abound was born from a realization by our co-founders Gerald Chappell and Michelle He, who spent years helping banks improve credit decisioning. They discovered that traditional lending systems were fundamentally broken - relying too heavily on single credit scores while ignoring the full financial picture. So they built something better: a platform that combines AI and Open Banking data to truly understand each applicant's unique financial situation. By looking at income, spending habits, and what customers can actually afford to repay, Abound makes fairer credit decisions that work for real people, not just algorithms. Since launching, we've issued over £1.5 billion in loans with market-leading credit performance - seeing 70% fewer defaults than industry benchmarks. Named the fastest-growing tech company in the UK by The Sunday Times, we've reached profitability just 2.5 years after launch. Backed by £2.2 billion from investors including Citi, GSR Ventures, and Deutsche Bank, we're expanding beyond direct lending to power white-label lending platforms for businesses. Our technology doesn't just make faster decisions; it makes smarter ones, helping more people access affordable credit while delivering sustainable growth.
