Avalara is integrated with ERP and ecommerce software systems that serve small to medium sized businesses (SMBs). Founded in 2004 and privately held, Avalaras venture capital investors include Battery Ventures, Sageview Capital and other institutional and individual investors.

Shopgate is a mobile shopping solution provider. Shopgate develops customised native apps and mobile sites for online shops. Approximately 5,500 merchants in five European countries already use Shopgate.

In recent news, Avalara has raised USD 100 million in a financing round from an affiliate of Warburg Pincus, a global private equity firm focused on growth investing.
