since first check

When we first met Aperture Pay, the company was four engineers with a prototype and an outsized ambition: to make payments invisible for global marketplaces.

Sterling led the seed round in 2019 and has supported every subsequent raise. Beyond capital, our operating team helped recruit the founding go-to-market leadership, structure the company's first enterprise contracts, and build a finance function ready for scale.

  • Led seed and participated in Series A & B
  • Recruited CRO and first CFO from our network
  • Expanded into three international markets
