Every software company will have to connect with other software to deliver value to its end user, but building robust, reliable integrations is time-consuming and expensive. Paragon, founded by 2021 Forbes 30 Under 30 honorees Brandon Foo and Ishmael Samuel in August 2019, is an “embedded integration platform” providing software integrations-as-a-service to B2B software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies.

Paragon, a member of the Y Combinator Winter 2020 cohort, announced a $2.5 million seed round today for its low-code application integration platform. Investors include Y Combinator, Village Global, Global Founders Capital, Soma Capital and FundersClub.
