FileInvite
By FileInvite Limited
FileInvite is a secure document collection software platform designed to replace traditional email-based methods for requesting and managing documents. The platform automates document collection, improves productivity, and ensures data security through features like client portals, automated workflows, and integrations with cloud storage services. FileInvite serves businesses across industries such as financial services, education, and legal sectors, with a global presence in 48 countries.
FileInvite was founded in 2015 by James Sampson in New Zealand. Initially developed as an internal tool for his eCommerce business, Zyber, the software addressed the challenge of managing client-provided content. Recognizing its broader potential, Sampson launched FileInvite as a standalone product. Since its inception, the company has experienced significant growth, now managing over 30 million files and serving more than 700,000 client portals globally.
FileInvite has raised a total of $9.05 million over four funding rounds. Its most recent funding was a Series A round of $6.14 million on July 6, 2022. Key investors include Icehouse Ventures, Flying Kiwi Angels, Forefront Venture Partners, and Vulpes Ventures. While specific valuation figures are not publicly available, the company’s steady growth and funding rounds indicate strong investor confidence.

While there is no record of acquisitions by FileInvite to date, the company has expanded its product offerings through strategic partnerships.

This demonstrates FileInvite's commitment to tailoring its platform for niche markets.
FileInvite continuously enhances its platform with updates that improve functionality and user experience.
