Merge simplifies how companies manage third-party applications by offering a single Unified API for B2B integrations. AngelList, Bill, Navan, and Ramp use Merge to keep their data continuously synced across platforms, eliminating the need for manual handling. Merge streamlines the integration process for engineering and product teams to focus on building core product features rather than backend complexity. To date, Merge has raised over $75 million in funding from Accel, NEA, and Addition.
