Rutter, a start-up based in the United States that is “on a mission to enable innovative commerce experiences,” has raised $27 million in a Series A financing headed by Andreessen Horowitz.

Zachary Perret (CEO, Plaid), Charley Ma (GM Fintech, Alloy), Juan Santa Cruz (CRO, Modern Treasury), Bob Young (CEO, Red Hat), Ravi Parikh (CEO, Airplane), and Joshua Ma (CEO, Airplane) are among the other investors (CTO, Airplane and Benchling).
