inDinero is an accounting software and services company designed to help small businesses manage their finances. Founded in 2009 by Jessica Mah, Andy Su, and Andrea Barrica, inDinero first launched to the public in 2010 after graduating from the startup incubator, Y Combinator. As of September 2018, inDinero had raised nearly $10 million in equity funding, had a roster of nearly 30 investors, and made two acquisitions.

History edit

inDinero's product first launched on an invitation-only basis in August 2010. The product was initially marketed as the “Mint.com for small business”.[3] The first iteration of the software featured a real-time dashboard with financial tracking and forecasting, including a cash runway gauge, that was still at the core of the product in 2019.

inDinero launched transaction and receipt matching in October 2011, after bringing in more than 20,000 businesses that were generating 5 million transactions per month on its platform.[4]

Due to early customer feedback, inDinero added a service component to their business several years later, adding accounting and tax services alongside the cloud platform. In 2013 they opened an office in the Philippines to support this growth.[5]

Further growth and availability of talent lead the company to open an office in Portland, OR in 2015[6], which quickly doubled in size over the following year and eventually became the company’s headquarters.[7]

Funding and Investors edit

Upon graduating from Y Combinator in August 2010, inDinero immediately gained angel attention.[8] inDinero closed a $1.2 million seed round the following month, which consisted of investments from Intuit’s David Wu, Yelp’s Jeremy Stoppelman, and YouTube’s Jawed Karim.[9]

In February 2013, inDinero received the largest of a three-fund investment from FundersClub in their initial investment in enterprise software companies.[10] Two years later, in February 2015, inDinero closed its largest funding round, a Series B round worth $7 million.[11]

Acquisitons edit

On May 8, 2018, inDinero acquired San Jose-based firm tempCFO.[12] This move added CFO services to inDinero’s offering, enabling them to work with a customer from early stage through to exit.[13]

On February 1, 2019, inDinero acquired a second company, mAccounting, an Indianapolis-based accounting and tax firm.[14]
