Pipe Acquires Glean.ai to Enhance Small Business Finance Tools

Pipe has acquired Glean.ai to integrate spend management capabilities into its financial services, enhancing tools for small businesses.

Pipe has acquired Glean.ai to expand its embedded financial services for software platforms, announced in a press release. This strategic move allows Pipe to integrate capital access and spend management capabilities for small businesses through its distribution partners.

Glean.ai's platform, which remains available to existing and new users, provides analytics on corporate spending, billing discrepancies, and budget insights. It uses artificial intelligence to identify patterns and highlight opportunities for cost savings, while also offering tools for real-time budgeting and bill payments.

The acquisition aims to address the lack of dedicated financial infrastructure for small businesses, many of which rely on personal credit cards for managing company costs. By incorporating Glean.ai’s spend management system, Pipe intends to fill this gap and provide more comprehensive financial tools to small businesses through its partnerships with vertical software and payments platforms.
