Merge has successfully raised $4.5 million in a seed round led by NEA, with participation from several prominent angel investors, to support its mission of becoming the default API for B2B companies seeking customer-facing integrations. The funding will help Merge expand its team and enhance its product offerings, including the launch of a new Accounting API designed to address the demand for a unified, developer-focused solution in the accounting space. This move is part of Merge's broader strategy to simplify the integration process across various industries by offering an easy-to-use, unified API platform. As Merge scales up its operations in San Francisco and New York City, the company is actively hiring across multiple departments to further its growth and innovation in the integration platform market.
