Global Brain has made additional investment in UPSIDER, Inc., a company providing corporate cards to growing companies

Global Brain has made additional investment in UPSIDER, Inc. (UPSIDER), a company providing corporate cards to thriving businesses, through GB-VII Growth Fund Investment Limited Partnership (GB-VII). This is our third investment following the Series A round and Series B round.

UPSIDER provides corporate cards and payment solutions, targeting fast-growing companies, including startups aiming for IPO. It offers a high card spending limit, practical and intuitive spending management, and seamless integrations with external services including accounting SaaS, to enhance the clients' governance and administration. As a result, the payment size has grown 15 times since September 2020.

Global Brain decided to invest in UPSIDER as we sympathize with their ultimate vision of "accelerating the business of growing companies" and are impressed by the great product and the team behind it. We keep providing multifaceted growth support to UPSIDER.
