Chargebee

Subscription Billing Intelligence for Smarter Funding

Chargebee powers subscription billing for thousands of SaaS companies, handling everything from plan management to dunning to revenue recognition. Founderpath connects directly to your Chargebee account to transform that billing intelligence into funding eligibility.

Why Chargebee Data Reveals More Than Payments

Payment processors show transactions. Chargebee shows subscription lifecycle.

Complete Subscription Context

Chargebee tracks the full customer journey: trial starts, conversions, plan changes, pause events, cancellations, and reactivations. This lifecycle data reveals subscription health that payment data alone misses.

Plan Performance Analytics

Which pricing tiers drive your MRR? What are your trial conversion rates by plan? Where do upgrades and downgrades happen? Chargebee has this data, and we use it for underwriting.

Revenue Recognition Accuracy

If you use Chargebee RevRec, your recognized versus deferred revenue data gives us a precise view of your economics that matches your financial reporting.
