Inforcer is a London-based technology startup founded in 2022 that builds cloud-first software to help Managed Service Providers (MSPs) standardize, deploy, manage, and secure Microsoft 365 policies across multiple tenants. It serves MSPs globally, enabling them to efficiently handle security, compliance, backups, restores, and AI readiness for their small and medium-sized business (SMB) clients, who lack in-house IT expertise.[1][2][3][5] The platform bridges the gap between Microsoft’s enterprise-grade tools—like Entra ID, Intune, and Defender—and MSPs managing thousands of SMBs, replacing legacy server management with tenant-centric models for higher profitability.[2][3][4][5]
Inforcer powers over 800 MSP customers serving nearly 50,000 businesses and 3-5 million users, with sales growing 10x in the past year and revenue estimated in the millions; top clients pay $15,000-$20,000 monthly.[1][3] It recently raised $35 million in Series B funding to expand AI capabilities, employs 110 people across offices in the UK, US, Netherlands, Denmark, and Australia, and boasts a community of over 1,000 MSPs via Discord and events.[1][3]
Inforcer was launched in 2022 by MSP industry veterans addressing a key gap: MSPs struggling to scale Microsoft 365 management for SMB clients amid the shift from on-premise servers to cloud tenants.[1][2][3] Co-founders include CEO Jamie Daum, who highlights the need to bring enterprise AI and security to SMBs; Will Connor, Chief Community Officer with experience from a $1.5 billion acquisition in the sector; and Richard Thompson, CFO from the same team.[1][3][5] The idea emerged from their time at Continuity, recognizing that MSPs pay high fees ($1,000-$2,000/month per client) for manual Microsoft work that inforcer automates via bulk standardization and deployment.[1]
Early traction came quickly through high-profile MSP adoptions in the US, EMEA, and APAC, evolving from a security-focused tool to an essential stack component for cloud-first operations, fueled by community input and partnerships like Microsoft's #IntuneForMSPs.[2][3][5] From 8 employees 18 months ago, it scaled to 110 amid 10x growth, cementing its role without dipping into low-margin services.[1]
Inforcer rides the explosive shift to cloud-first MSPs, where Microsoft 365 dominates 80% of SMBs (350 million users globally) as the hub for productivity, security, and AI amid remote work and SaaS dominance.[2][4][5] Timing is ideal: SMBs outsource IT to MSPs lacking Microsoft expertise, while AI/security demands (e.g., Copilot readiness) require scalable tools; inforcer unlocks billions in IT spend by making Microsoft viable at scale.[1][2][3]
Market forces favor it—Microsoft's unified stack monopoly, regulatory compliance pressures, and MSPs ditching on-premise patching for tenant management—position inforcer as the "cornerstone" between Microsoft and SMB advisors.[2][4] It influences the ecosystem by enabling MSPs to productize services, foster trust, and lead AI adoption, modernizing an industry stuck in endpoint reactive support.[3][4][5]
Inforcer's $35M Series B positions it to dominate AI readiness for SMBs via enhanced Microsoft integrations, targeting explosive demand as enterprises push tools like Copilot downward.[1][3] Expect global expansion, deeper Microsoft ties (e.g., #IntuneForMSPs), and community-led features to drive 10x-like growth, potentially hitting unicorn status amid MSP consolidation.[1][2][5]
Shaping trends include AI governance in SMBs, Zero Trust mandates, and tenant-as-server paradigms; inforcer's veteran roots and focus could evolve it into the default Microsoft MSP layer, empowering the SMB backbone to compete enterprise-grade.[2][3][4] This bridges hype-filled VC narratives back to gritty MSP realities, unlocking AI/security where it matters most.[1]
Inforcer has raised $35.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $35.0M Series B in July 2025.
