Stay22 Lands $122M to Power Creator Commerce
Montreal startup Stay22 scores major PE backing after surpassing $1B in transactions.
Stay22, a Montreal-based tech startup that helps publishers and creators monetize online sales, just pulled in $122 million from private equity firm Summit Partners.
The company has built technology that connects content creators with commerce opportunities — and the numbers back up the bet. Stay22 reports crossing $1 billion in transactions in 2025, a serious milestone for a company operating outside the usual Silicon Valley spotlight.
Summit Partners clearly sees room to run. The $122M injection should fuel Stay22's next growth phase as the creator economy continues to mature and publishers hunt for sustainable revenue streams beyond ads.
Montreal keeps quietly producing winners. Stay22 sits at the intersection of creator tools and e-commerce infrastructure — two categories that show zero signs of slowing down.
