Hello Wrapbook community!

We're thrilled to share some exciting news with you today: Wrapbook has secured a $20-million investment from Bessemer Venture Partners. And while we’re obviously happy that the investment values the company at $750 million, this milestone is about a lot more than just numbers—it's about our commitment to modernizing production finance and accounting in the entertainment industry, as Bessemer highlights in its own funding news announcement.

A Force Multiplier for Production Finance Teams

Since founding Wrapbook, our vision has been clear: to be more than just a payroll service. We set out to be a force multiplier for production finance teams. What does that mean? It means we're here to amplify your capabilities, to help you do more with less, and to transform the way you manage the financial backbone of your productions.

In an industry grappling with tightening budgets, production pauses, and complex financial management, we've emerged as a critical solution for teams looking to get more done, faster—while ensuring greater accuracy. By combining next-gen technology with industry-leading customer service, Wrapbook empowers finance executives, production accountants, and producers to manage complex processes efficiently and contribute more strategically to a production's success.

Reimagining Production Finance

We're not just upgrading old systems—we're reimagining what production finance can be in the digital age. With this new funding, we're doubling down on our mission to create a unified platform that gives you:

  • accelerated speed and efficiency, by enabling production finance teams to operate in real time with numbers they can trust
  • seamless collaboration, by bringing all teams together in a single, cohesive system that allows them to work towards a common goal of wrapping a production on time and under budget
  • better, faster decision-making, with next-gen reporting and dashboards that deliver insights across all projects, entities, divisions, and crews 

More Than an Investment

This funding round isn't just about growth—it's about empowerment. As The Hollywood Reporter mentions in its piece on the Bessemer investment, we're including a secondary tender offer, allowing eligible Wrapbook employees to sell a portion of their equity. It's our way of recognizing their contributions and reinforcing our commitment to building a company that values its people as much as its product.

Your Trust Drives Our Success

Without the support of our growing community, Wrapbook would not be celebrating this momentous milestone. We’re incredibly grateful for the trust that our users place in us every day, including: 

  • 1,000+ companies who use Wrapbook 
  • Four studios that have approved Wrapbook in the last year
  • 175,000+ workers with a current Wrapbook profile
  • 40+ talent agencies, including CAA & WME, who have adopted profiles for their talent

These numbers reflect more than just growth—they represent a shift in the industry towards more efficient, transparent, and powerful financial tools for productions of all sizes.

Join the Movement

As we continue on this journey, we invite you to be part of shaping the future of production finance. Whether you're a longtime Wrapbook user or considering making the switch, your insights and feedback are invaluable to us.

Imagine a world where real-time financial insights are at your fingertips, where collaboration across teams is seamless, and where strategic decision-making is powered by comprehensive data. That's the world we're building, and we couldn't be more excited to have you with us on this journey.

Thank you for your trust and support. Here's to writing the next chapter of production finance together!
