Built by operators who watched teams overspend on SaaS
Darren and Matt spent years watching mid-market teams lose money to vendor sprawl, unchecked renewals, and invisible cost leakage. They built Ensurva to give those teams real spend control — without enterprise complexity.
Meet the founders
Darren McMurtrie
Co-founder
Daz is the co-founder of Assembly Payments / Zai and more recently as COO at Hapana, where he led product, growth, and operations for a fast-scaling global SaaS platform. He thrives at the intersection of design, commercial strategy, and execution. At Ensurva, Daz focuses on turning complexity into clarity - shaping the product experience, refining the design system, and ensuring everything we ship feels sharp, confident, and purposeful. He’s equal parts operator and creative, and happiest when building things that are both beautiful and commercially smart.
Matt Farrugia
Co-founder
Matt is the co-founder of Mutinex, a market leader in marketing measurement that’s scaling globally and helping some of the world’s most recognised brands make smarter, evidence-based investment decisions. He’s spent the last few years building software that brings clarity, credibility, and financial discipline to how organisations measure growth. With Ensurva, Matt is applying that same thinking to SaaS spend - bringing structure, transparency, and real executive-level confidence to an area that’s long been messy and overlooked. He’s driven by ambitious ideas, high standards, and building products that genuinely change how decisions get made.
Why we built Ensurva
We ran procurement and operations at companies with 50 to 500 people. We watched teams overspend on renewals, miss savings opportunities, and lose thousands to cost leakage they could not even see. Ensurva is the spend control system we needed — built for mid-market teams who want to reduce spend without enterprise overhead.
What we believe
Savings over dashboards
Every insight creates a task that reduces spend. Dashboards without actions are just decoration.
Cost transparency by default
Confidence scores on AI outputs. Clear pricing. Honest scope. No hidden spend.
Cost governance from day one
Spend control and compliance built in, not bolted on after the first audit.
