San Francisco, California, United States
Merge is a San Francisco-based B2B software company that provides unified APIs, allowing software companies to offer dozens of integrations across HR, applicant tracking, accounting, and related categories through a single connection. Co-founded by Gil Feig and Shensi Ding-Lopez, the company launched out of stealth roughly two and a half to three months before this July 2021 interview, having spent the prior six months building its platform before adding any integrations. As of mid-2021, Merge had 280 organizations signed up on its platform, with 40 to 50 fully embedded and paying customers. The company raised a $4.5 million priced seed round from NEA, with Scott Sandell joining the board, and was targeting $1 million in ARR by the end of 2021, implying roughly $83,000 in monthly recurring revenue by December. With a 12-person team, the company was adding two to three new integrations per week and had processed hundreds of millions of API requests since launch. Merge competes in the integration infrastructure space and counts Flatfile as both a peer and a customer-facing partner, while distinguishing itself from horizontal tools like Zapier and Workato by offering vertical-specific, normalized data APIs built for enterprise-grade scale.
