In just 24 months, with no investors behind us, we built a smarter way to fight chargebacks, and the results speak for themselves.
June 2025 — Chargeblast is officially two years old, and we’ve got a lot to celebrate. What started as a bootstrapped project is now a full-scale platform protecting over $4 billion in payment volume for 5,000+ merchants, with zero outside funding.
We’ve grown from nothing but an idea into a team of 50 sharp, driven people who wake up every day ready to outsmart fraud and reduce the noise of chargebacks. We’ve built 30+ deep integrations across processing and orchestration layers. And we’ve done it all with our merchants front and center, without answering to venture capital or chasing hype cycles.
“We knew from day one that we didn’t want to build something just to raise funding—we wanted to build something that actually solved a problem,” said Xiuqi Cao, Founder and CEO of Chargeblast. “And two years later, we’re doing exactly that.”
What We’ve Built (So Far)
- $5B+ in protected payment volume
- 4,000+ merchants onboarded and supported
- 50 team members across product, support, engineering, and growth
- 30+ payment and fraud stack integrations, from PSPs to CRMs
That’s all in just 24 months, without a single outside investor.
We’ve kept things lean and focused: shipping fast, listening hard, and helping merchants get real wins on disputes. Whether it’s automated alerts, smarter evidence strategies, or pre-dispute prevention, we’re building for the merchants who are too often stuck navigating complex rules with little support.
And we’re just getting started.
Bootstrapped and Built Different
This milestone isn’t just about hitting numbers. It’s a reminder that there’s another way to build: slower if needed, but steadier. More intentional. More aligned with the people we serve.
Our team didn’t come together overnight. We’ve hired carefully, built trust across time zones, and created a culture where impact beats ego. From literally zero to 50 (and more!) incredible team members. What a ride it’s been.
What's Next?
Chargebacks aren’t going away, but neither are we. We’re doubling down on what’s working: faster dispute resolution, smarter fraud signals, and a unified chargeback strategy that merchants actually understand.
We’ll keep investing in new tech, cleaner UX, and partnerships that make life easier for merchants dealing with rising fraud and shrinking margins.
