Siddharth Sridharan
Siddharth Sridharan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Spendflo, an AI-native procurement platform that helps fast-growing and enterprise companies manage SaaS vendor relationships and cut software spend. He co-founded Spendflo in 2021 after spotting a universal blind spot: CFOs had no centralized way to track or negotiate SaaS contracts.
