Hyperline

Another (purple) post to make sure you’ve heard: we’ve raised $10M led by Index Ventures! In 2024, we went from 5 beta testers to 150+ active customers sending real quotes and invoices daily—collecting $250M in payments from 100,000 clients worldwide. The subscription era is over. Businesses demand flexible pricing and invoicing—from contracts to reconciliations, flexibility must cover it all. Now it’s time for the next chapter. With LLMs, AI agents, and rapid innovation, today’s tools will be obsolete in five years. Hyperline is just the start—a powerful engine to redefine monetization. Since we started, the market’s response has been incredible, with strong traction and feedback. That’s why we’re doubling down with our amazing investors, particularly Julia Andre from Index Ventures, whose support has been key since day one. This new funding will fuel automation, aiming to reduce time spent on billing to zero, and help us grow across Europe—as we believe billing should be effortless for everyone.

Today, I’m thrilled to announce our $10M round led (again) by Index Ventures. In 2024, we grew from 5 beta testers to 150 active customers, sending real quotes and invoices every day, while collecting $250M in payments from 100,000 clients worldwide. This journey—challenging as it was—made me realize we were building something important. The subscription era is already a thing of the past, businesses need greater flexibility in pricing and invoicing. Flexibility must follow the entire process, starting with contracts and continuing until payments are reconciled and accounts closed. Building a platform that covers such a wide range of features—on something unique to each business—isn’t easy. But today, I can confidently say we’ve done it! Now it’s time for the next stage. The world is changing fast. With LLMs, AI agents, and upcoming innovations, there’s no doubt the way we interact with tools today will be obsolete in five years. Hyperline as we know it is just the beginning—a well-designed engine that will power the future of monetization. With this new funding, we’ll invest in automation, finding ways to reduce time spent on invoicing, billing, and payments to zero. And of course we’ll keep expanding our customer base across Europe, as we believe everyone should have an enjoyable billing experience. Major thanks to Julia Andre and the Index team for their support, Clément Garbay, without whom Hyperline wouldn’t exist, Alexandre Berriche and Adelie for trusting us again and following on the round, and Anthony Danon for your continuous support. And of course, thank you to the best team I could dream of Victoria Thomas Samuel .Laurent Sami Nicolas Nicolas 🍍 Anaël Nathan Katherine Victoire ❤️ 🗞️ Read on TechCrunch: https://lnkd.in/ej8t4gTr

New customer story with Scalability—who said Hyperline was only designed for pure SaaS companies? As the new year begins, we’re sharing how one of our earliest adopters overcame their billing issues with Hyperline. This is the story of Benjamin Donteville, founder of Scalability, who decided to trust Hyperline to unify their billing processes and cut redundancies. 🤦🏻♀️ No more juggling the quote-to-cash process across multiple, disconnected tools ✍️ No more tedious manual data entry 💣 No more error-prone processes The Scalability team—including finance, ops and sales—now relies on a single source of truth. Hyperline’s integrated system drives their growth and simplifies day-to-day tasks. Going from an agency model to a SaaS-based approach, they needed a single platform for contract creation, billing, and revenue tracking—and they found it with Hyperline. Full customer story available (enjoy the read!): https://lnkd.in/eDnSRXGZ

Christmas gift 🎅🏼: revamped dashboard! Starting tomorrow, your first look at Hyperline will reveal a more streamlined view of the numbers that matter most. We’ve simplified how you track key revenue markers, clarified the status of pending and renewing agreements, and highlighted the data that helps you stay on top of outstanding balances. With the year-end approaching, we hope this improved perspective - spotlighting metrics like ARR, renewing contract values, and outstanding debts - makes managing your billing process smoother and more informed.

Hyperline is now SOC 2 Type I certified ✅ For us, it’s not just a badge—it’s a commitment to building a platform you can trust with your most critical processes and data. Achieving this certification means we’ve put the right systems and safeguards in place to meet rigorous standards for security, availability, and confidentiality. We couldn’t have done it without the expertise and support of Bastion Technologies (Arnaud, Robin, Sebastien), who made the process smooth and straightforward. While this is an important milestone, security isn’t a one-time effort. It’s a foundation we’re continuing to build on as we scale and serve more customers worldwide. 🔒 Read more: https://lnkd.in/e8yzkjCQ

The team’s back from Berlin! 🇩🇪 We had an amazing evening co-hosting a sold-out RevOps After Hours event in Berlin with our friends from ChartMogul! Sara Archer (VP of Sales at ChartMogul) and our CEO, Lucas Bédout, shared actionable insights on building a winning RevOps team and optimizing the quote-to-cash process. Here are the top takeaways: ▶︎ Create a RevOps function that aligns with the company’s growth and GTM goals, transforming it into a growth driver rather than just a support role. ▶︎ Strong technical skills and a solid grasp of SaaS metrics are essential for RevOps teams, with a focus on growth-driving tasks. Proactivity and clear communication are key to managing change effectively. ▶︎ Aligning operations, finance, and sales in the quote-to-cash (QtC) process helps avoid roadblocks. Prioritizing process over tools keeps things simple, while early planning for reporting ensures key data is captured. cc. Lucas Bédout, Clément Garbay, Victoria Dalleau

Happy Birthday, Hyperline 🎁 2 years ago, it was just me and a (pretty great) idea. As a *proper* CEO, I should be writing about all our amazing achievements over the past two years… but instead, I want to share some of the fun stuff that made this adventure special so far. 👉 In the office, if you complain too much, you have to wear "le chapeau du chouineur" as a sign that you're in a bad mood and as a reminder that complaining goes nowhere 👉 That same office has a "Friends" like atmosphere where people from Hyperline, their friends and dogs (👋 Rio) come and go as they please, with the door always opened (sorry neighbors). So much so that the company's WhatsApp group is named "La Coloc" 👉 For my 30th birthday, the team got me a "fake" Forbes 30 under 30 cover page (seems I didn't deserve a real one), it's now displayed in the office like the president's portrait in your mayor's office 👉 We're playing a team game every Friday at 5pm with everyone to close the week and unwind (GeoGuessr, Gartic Phone) 👉 We have 6 desks for 8 people full-time in the office + the remote team, which often ends up with 6 people working sitting in weird positions (floor, sofa, in the building stairs or in the kitchen) - time to move probably :) Can't wait to see what the next few years will bring to this team Victoria, Thomas, Samuel, Yohan, .Laurent, Clément, Nicolas, 🍍 Anaël, Nicolas, Nathan

Raising funds? Here’s a short video to know where your metrics need to be. The days of the 2021 fundraising frenzy, where companies "didn't even need metrics to raise" are long gone. This was a key takeaway from our recent webinar with Bobby Pinero, CEO of Equals and former Head of Finance at Intercom and Stan Massueras, former GM EMEA of Lattice and former VP Sales at Intercom. Every business is different, but we’ve pulled together a framework to help you gauge where your metrics *should* be to lock in your next round. Bobby broke it down like this: 1️⃣ Series A - $1M ARR The classic line: “Series A means $1M ARR.” At this stage, you’ve laid the groundwork, and things are starting to look repeatable. You’re raising to scale, but let's be honest, there’s still some guesswork. Your key job? Prove it’s going to scale. Key metrics: Conversion rate, pipeline metrics—anything that instills confidence you’ll 3x or 5x the business within a year. 2️⃣ Series B - $5M ARR Series B is where you show off your ability to scale. You’ve deployed the initial capital, it’s working, and now you need more fuel for the fire. 3️⃣ Series C - $20M ARR Series C is basically Series B on steroids—same playbook, but now you’ve got way more conviction (and you should too). Bottom line: Your metrics need to tell a compelling story, one that investors can’t resist buying into. To follow your day-to-day metrics and make your (future) investors very happy, Hyperline is here. 🎥 Webinar replay available in comment (Don't miss our CEO's film-making talents at 1:30 – thanks, Lucas! 😭)
