In an obscure blog post on his site Lanng referred to a new client as an enterprise which “manages facilities, energy and properties for its clients and is a leading FTSE 250 support services business.”

Tradeshift competes with Ariba, Basware, OB10, Coupa and Maventa.com. However, it has so far landed contracts with the UK’s National Health Service and Danish and French governments.

It recently raised another $7m round from Notion Capital and already has angel investment from former MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos and founding investor in Last.fm Stefan Glaenzer, alongside PayPal. It has $24m in funding to date.
