Company Secures Investment from Point72 Ventures, Justin Kan, Drew Houston, Mantis VC, and Others

Certa, a leading no-code automation platform for procurement and compliance, announced its official Series A investment, totaling $15 million, led by Point72 Ventures with participation from tech visionary Justin Kan, Dropbox co-founder and CEO Drew Houston, Mantis VC, and others.

Vendor and partner onboarding are among the most time-consuming, opaque, and arduous processes within an enterprise. Growing data security concerns, privacy regulations and a heightened emphasis on ESG add further complexity and burden. Certa reduces onboarding time, and increases overall transparency by automating the entire third-party lifecycle for enterprises.

“The modern business ecosystem requires an increasing amount of collaboration between companies, but the process for enabling this cross-company cohesion is often a manual, time-intensive experience,” said Certa founder and CEO Jag Lamba. “It doesn’t need to be this way. Our platform was built out of necessity to help our customers onboard third-party vendors, partners, and customers quickly and efficiently so they can get back to business.”

“Any platform that can help take the pain points out of the integration process is one I want to keep my eye on. I’m looking forward to helping accelerate Certa’s growth and watching them provide real value to some of the tech scene’s biggest organizations.”

Utilizing low code/no-code technology, Certa empowers procurement teams to automate crucial processes without IT support. The company has helped clients onboard over one million companies across 120 countries in 17 languages.

“We believe Certa has the potential to redefine how businesses work and grow together,” said Tripp Shriner, Partner at Point72 Ventures. “Whether a vendor, customer, or partner, there is a growing demand to find the most secure, efficient, and comprehensive way to integrate and scale business processes.
