Christian Owens is Founder and CEO of Paddle. Over the last ten years, he has grown the company to a $1.4billion valuation and in 2022 raised a $200M Series D that powered Paddle’s acquisition of ProfitWell. Together, Paddle and ProfitWell will help subscription businesses run automatically. Paddle is the only complete payments infrastructure provider for SaaS companies. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, Paddle is a merchant of record for our customers, taking away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. During his career, Christian has been named in Forbes’ “30 under 30” list and as a Thiel Fellow by the Thiel Foundation, which supports those who learn by doing rather than by following conventional paths like college. Paddle offers SaaS companies a completely different approach to their payments infrastructure. Instead of assembling and maintaining a complex stack of payments-related apps and services, we’re a merchant of record for our customers, taking away 100% of the pain of payments fragmentation. It’s faster, safer, simpler and, above all, way better.
