Companies that use Trolley

I noticed that Trolley's customers operate in industries where they need to pay large numbers of independent workers, freelancers, or creators at scale. The most prominent pattern is music and entertainment companies like Canva, Wattpad, SoundCloud, CD Baby, BeatStars, and UnitedMasters that connect creators with audiences and monetization opportunities. Translation and localization services like ProZ.com, ALTA, and Baystate Interpreters appear frequently, as do influencer marketing platforms like CreatorIQ, Viral Nation, and GRIN. Educational institutions also show up consistently, from universities to tutoring services.

These companies span different stages but share common traits. Some are well-funded scale-ups like Hopper (Series funding, $96M) or established players like L.E.K. Consulting (2,300+ employees). Others are smaller but growing fast, like Modash (Series A, $12M). What unites them is operational complexity: they're managing thousands or hundreds of thousands of individual payees across borders. Employee counts are often misleading because their real scale is in their contributor networks.
