01 · The business

Software subscriptions plus payment processing.

Versapay sells accounts receivable software: digital invoicing, a customer payment portal, collections, cash application (matching payments to invoices) and B2B payments, embedded in ERPs such as NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Microsoft Dynamics. Banks including Wells Fargo white-label it. It does not publish revenue, prices or a revenue split.

    Fully remote, no offices.

    Versapay's careers page says it has no physical offices or return-to-office mandates; staff work from Canada, the US and Israel and meet at events.

    Three finance chiefs since 2022.

    Russell Lester was CFO from Sep 2022 to Mar 2024, Ed Neumann was named in Apr 2024, and Glen Braganza was named in Aug 2026.

    Frequent CFO change can reflect owner priorities shifting. The new hire's IPO and deal background hints at an exit plan.

    New CFO pitched on IPOs and deals.

    CEO Carey Kolaja said Braganza has helped companies through IPOs, capital raises, major acquisitions and integrations. The release cited a strong first half of 2026 with no figures.

    Taken private in 2020.

    Great Hill Partners paid C$2.70 a share, about C$126M, completing the deal in February 2020. Versapay had traded on the TSX Venture Exchange.

    A small buyout by today's standards. The owner's return depends on a future sale, so expect exit talk.

    Payment volume claims vary by page.

    Versapay cited $170B of yearly volume in May 2024, $260B+ in January 2026, $257B on its home page and $300B+ in current job posts.

    Likely growth plus rounding, but no audited figure exists. Treat these as company claims.

    Every role is posted twice, US and Canada.

    The 28 posts are 14 roles, each with a US and a Canada copy and separate posted pay. One Canada copy (Senior PM, Payments Gateway) shows US$180K to 200K, above the US copy's US$160K to 180K.

    That Canada range may be a currency typo: other Canada posts are in CAD. Confirm the currency before negotiating.

    Versapay cites a 138% ROI study.

At 25x, Versapay needs $4 million of revenue to be worth $95 million. Your world gets there with $8 million, so the next round likely prices above the last.

Your equity, two years out
$206,316

$100,000 of equity valued at the $95M Take-private buyout price would be worth about $206,316 on paper in this world, before dilution from new rounds, taxes and vesting. Private shares only turn into cash at a sale, an IPO or a tender offer.

08 · Where it looks headed

The signals, and which way they push.

  1. Tailwind
    The network grew fast.

    Businesses on the Versapay network rose from 1 million to 5 million in about 18 months to May 2024.

  2. Tailwind
    ERP embedding widens reach.

    Versapay is embedding its AI in NetSuite, Sage Intacct and Dynamics, where mid-size finance teams already work.

  3. Headwind
    Bigger, richer rivals.

    HighRadius raised at $3.1B in 2021 and EQT bought Billtrust for about $1.7B in 2022; BILL is public.

  4. Headwind
    A rotating C-suite.

    New CEO in 2023, new product, payments, marketing and sales chiefs since 2024, and a third CFO in 2026.

09 · Bold predictions

Where Versapay ends up, if we had to bet.

Our calls, not facts. Each one is tied to something that already happened, so you can judge the reasoning.

  1. 1

    Great Hill sells or recapitalizes Versapay by 2031.

    Likely 72%M&A

    It has owned the company since February 2020, longer than typical buyout holds. The 2026 CFO was introduced with IPO, capital raise and deal experience.

    Release reprint, Aug 21, 2026; EPI, Feb 2020
  2. 2

    Versapay lists its own shares on a stock exchange by 2031.

    Long shot 16%IPO

    No revenue is published and it was a small company when taken private. A sale to a larger rival or another fund is the more common exit.

    EPI, Feb 24, 2020
  3. 3

    Versapay's AI applies most customer payments to invoices with no human review.

    Coin flip 50%AI

    AI cash application is in beta and DadePay already claimed 90%+ straight-through posting. Its own roadmap puts full autonomy at a later stage.

    Versapay, Oct 8, 2026; Versapay, Apr 2022
  4. 4

    Versapay buys at least one more small company to fill a product gap.

    Likely 72%Products

    Its owner funded the DadeSystems purchase in 2022, and the new CFO's record includes major acquisitions and integrations.

    Versapay, Apr 2022; release reprint, Aug 2026
  5. 5

    Versapay stays a top three accounts receivable vendor for mid-size firms.

    Coin flip 50%Competition

    It reports 10,000 customers and deep ERP ties. HighRadius and Billtrust have more capital, and BILL is moving up from small businesses.
