History
Aria Systems was founded in 2002 by Brendan O'Brien and Edward "Ed" Sullivan in Media, Pennsylvania, to provide a cloud-based billing platform for businesses with recurring revenue models, as an alternative to locally installed billing platforms.[3][4][5]
Aria received its first major institutional funding in 2007 with a $4 million Series A round led by Hummer Winblad Venture Partners.[6] As the adoption of its cloud billing platform grew, Aria expanded its operations. In 2011, Aria raised $20 million in an investment round led by InterWest with participation of Hummer-Winblad and Venrock.[7][8]
In 2012, Tom Dibble was appointed CEO.[9] The following year, Aria opened its first international office in London and raised a $40 million Series D round led by Bain Capital Ventures.[10][11]
In 2016, Aria raised an additional $50 million in Series E financing led by Rembrandt Venture Partners and Madison Bay Capital.[12] In the same year, Aria was listed on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500.[13]
