About StackOne
StackOne is the universal integration layer for modern SaaS products. We've raised $24m in 2 years, and we're backed by top tier investors like Google Ventures and Workday Ventures.
Our unified API platform lets vendors ship hundreds of native, white label integrations in days, not months, by abstracting away dozens of disparate third party APIs into a single, normalized interface. On top of those APIs, we provide AI Agent Actions so customers can build agentic workflows without wrangling OpenAPI specs.
StackOne sits behind the scenes as an embedded iPaaS: SOC 2 compliant, multi-tenant, and invisible to end users powering integrations for future-of-work SaaS categories such as HR, Compliance, and AI Agents.
Our customers are established B2B SaaS companies that:
- Sell to mid market and enterprise buyers
- Are building AI Agents in the near future
- Need deep, native integrations to win competitive deals and power their product
- Value time to integration over building connectors in house
We typically close OEM and embedded licensing deals, multi-year (1 to 3 year) contracts, five to seven figure TCV, with a strong land and expand model. Key buyer personas are the CPO and CTO.
