We built Rivet because we lived the problem.

We ran a payments company within a Private Equity portfolio where every basis point mattered. From that vantage point, we saw how quietly payment costs could drift, how often rules and fees changed, and how hard it was for our teams to get a clear view of what was actually happening in their own stack.

What appeared as a single line on a P&L hid missed savings, avoidable fees, and subtle performance issues spread across thousands of transactions. The tools available either demanded heavyweight projects or surfaced data without enough context to act on.

So we built the tools we wished we had.

We started by building internal tools to audit transactions, monitor change, and prioritize the opportunities that mattered. Those tools became Rivet: a platform that sits on top of existing processors to make hidden inefficiencies visible and help payment and finance teams turn that visibility into ongoing performance improvements.
