Inai

Overview

Inai (inai.io) is a Y Combinator-backed (Summer 2021), no-code global payment-orchestration platform giving merchants a single integration to connect multiple payment gateways (Stripe, Adyen, Braintree), wallets (PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay), and BNPL providers (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay). $4M seed (Sept 2021) led by 9Unicorns, with Paua Ventures participating -- Gemba Capital's participation not independently named in sources found this pass. IMPORTANT FINDING: Inai was ACQUIRED BY CHARGEBEE on February 26, 2025 (confirmed via FinTech Futures) -- the inai.io product/brand appears to still be live under Chargebee's ownership as of 2026, referenced in current payment-orchestration comparison content. Gemba's 'Inactive' portfolio tag most likely reflects that Inai is no longer an independent company (M&A exit to Chargebee), not that the product shut down -- this table has no is_ma/ma_with_entity_name/ma_date columns to record this structurally, so it's captured here in prose. HQ city genuinely disputed between London (per one source, UK operations lead) and Chennai (per an earlier YourStory funding piece, India operations lead) -- not resolved, left null rather than guessed.
