Meet Parag Patel
Parag Patel is a technology entrepreneur and operator who built a company from scratch into a multi-million-dollar success — without taking a single dollar of outside funding. In 2014, he co-founded Invoiced, a bootstrapped software platform that helps businesses get paid faster. Over nearly a decade, he scaled it into one of the fastest-growing accounts receivable automation platforms in the world, serving companies across multiple industries and countries. In 2024, Invoiced was acquired by Flywire (NASDAQ: FLYW), a publicly traded global payments company headquartered in Boston. Parag joined Flywire as Head of B2B Operations, leading the integration of Invoiced’s technology into its worldwide platform and driving growth in its business-to-business segment. Before building Invoiced, Parag worked as a software engineer for major technology firms, innovative startups, and the U.S. government — experience that gave him both the technical depth and operational skills to launch and grow a successful business. Based in Austin, Texas, he is now building a stealth company in artificial intelligence, focused on creating transformative, next-generation solutions.
