The buying committee depends on the product being sold.

C-level approval becomes more likely for strategic, cross-functional or high-risk systems.

At ~800+, Mercury is large enough to have specialized procurement, security and functional budget owners. Sellers should expect multiple stakeholders, a documented business case and integration review rather than a founder-only buying path.
