Barrett is a graduate of the University of Michigan and began programming at the age of six. He was involved in numerous tech companies prior to Expensify, including developing the file transfer technology for RedSwoosh, a company later purchased by Akamai Technologies. Barrett founded Expensify from his "hatred" of expense reports and wanted to develop software to make it easier to track expenses. The slogan for Expensify was created by Barrett as "Expense Reports that Don't Suck!" Expensify received $1 million in funding in 2009. The company raised an additional $5.7 million in funding in 2010. It used the funding to expand its team. Expensify raised an additional $3.5 million in funding in 2014. This round was led by Barracuda Newtworks, creating a reseller relationship between the two. The funding was used to increase Expensify's sales and marketing, leading to an aggressive campaign to target new customers after its competitor Concur Technologies who was later purchased by SAP SE.〔 Expensify offers customers of Concur the opportunity to switch to its platform for free. Expensify maintains its headquarters in San Francisco, California. In addition to graduating from the University of Michigan, Barrett grew up in Saginaw, Michigan.〔 Sticking with his Michigan roots, Barrett opened an office for Expensify in the Michigan Upper Peninsula city of Ironwood.〔 The company expanded its operation in Michigan in 2014 and is considered one of the largest employers in the Upper Peninsula and partners with Gogebic Community College to offer scholarships to students in the area.〔 In July 2015, CEO David Barrett addressed United States Congress on behalf of the app industry, speaking to a House, Health, and Technology subcommittee. The same year, Expensify closed a $17 million round of funding.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Expensify」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
