The 29 administrative services companies in this dataset raised debt financing between July 2021 and October 2022, with round sizes spanning from $80K (Goomi Group, Irvine) to $450M (Surf Air, Hawthorne, California). The top four disclosed rounds — Surf Air ($450M), CarbonFree Technology ($360M, Toronto), DailyPay ($300M, New York), and Footprint ($171M, Gilbert, Arizona) — each cleared $150M, while ten companies in the set raised $1M or less, illustrating the wide capital band debt instruments cover in this category.
Seven of the 29 companies are based in California, making it the most represented state; India follows with four companies — blinkit (Gurgaon), Bizongo (Mumbai), WorkIndia (Mumbai), and Tonbo Imaging (Bangalore). A recurring sub-theme involves earned-wage access and gig payroll infrastructure: DailyPay, WorkIndia, Gig Wage (Dallas), and Mywagepay (Nairobi) all operate in that niche, a segment where short-duration receivables align naturally with debt repayment structures.

Frequently asked
What are the largest debt rounds among these 29 companies?
Surf Air (Hawthorne, California) raised the largest round at $450M in October 2022, followed by CarbonFree Technology (Toronto) at $360M in August 2022 and DailyPay (New York) at $300M in March 2022. Footprint (Gilbert, Arizona), blinkit (Gurgaon), and Car Capital Technologies (Grapevine, Texas) each raised $150M or above, rounding out six rounds at the nine-figure level.
Which cities and states show up most often in this dataset?
California accounts for seven companies — Surf Air, Goomi Group, BridgeCare, Torpago, HoneyBee, Inertia, and Karbon — spread across Hawthorne, Irvine, San Jose, San Francisco, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Sausalito. Texas adds four more: Car Capital Technologies (Grapevine), The Postage (Houston), Epsilyte (The Woodlands), and Gig Wage (Dallas).
How small are the smallest rounds in this segment?
Goomi Group (Irvine, California) raised $80K in June 2022, and five others — Mywagepay (Nairobi), Bidbud (Tacoma), Epsilyte (The Woodlands), Talents Connect (Köln), and Inteloom (Gatineau) — raised between $100K and $200K. Patriot Growth Insurance Services (Washington, Pennsylvania) closed a round with no amount disclosed, bringing the count of sub-$1M or undisclosed rounds to at least eleven.
Do any thematic clusters appear among these companies?
At least four companies address earned-wage access or gig-worker payroll: DailyPay ($300M, New York), WorkIndia ($2M, Mumbai), Gig Wage ($3M, Dallas), and Mywagepay ($100K, Nairobi). Debt financing is a natural structural fit for these models because payroll advances generate short-cycle receivables that directly support repayment schedules.

Three rounds closed on consecutive days in mid-March 2022: Talents Connect ($100K) on March 15, blinkit ($150M) on March 16, and DailyPay ($300M) on March 17. The two largest single rounds — Surf Air ($450M) and CarbonFree Technology ($360M) — both closed in the second half of 2022, in October and August respectively.
How well represented are non-US companies in this segment?
Twelve of the 29 companies are headquartered outside the United States. India contributes four — blinkit (Gurgaon), Bizongo (Mumbai), WorkIndia (Mumbai), and Tonbo Imaging (Bangalore) — making it the second most represented country. Canada, the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Colombia, and Kenya each contribute one or two companies, indicating debt capital reached administrative services startups across at least seven countries during this period.
