Flowcase, formerly known as CV Partner and operating at cvpartner.com, is a B2B niche SaaS platform founded in 2012 and headquartered in Oslo, Norway. The company helps professional services firms, including IT consultancies, management consultancies, engineering firms, and law firms, manage and present their people's credentials, resumes, and case studies when bidding for work. Clients include Capgemini, CGI, PWC, WSP, and DLA Piper.
Co-founder Erling Linde bootstrapped the business for roughly ten years before raising a $3 million seed round in 2023 led by Norwegian VC ID Capital, at a valuation the host characterized as between $20 million and $30 million. As of the September 2024 interview, the company reported approximately $5.5 million in annual recurring revenue, up 47 percent year over year from $4 million in 2023, serving more than 400 customers across a team of 40 people in five countries.
With its first outside capital secured, Flowcase is executing a North American expansion, with Linde relocating to Toronto, Canada to lead that effort. The company targets two segments: a midsize tier priced at $15,000 to $50,000 ARR and an enterprise tier priced at $50,000 to $500,000 ARR, with net revenue retention of 115 percent reported for 2023.
