🚀 About Us

We are a fast-growing AI startup on a mission to build the world’s first AI-powered finance team. Our AI agents close books, reconcile cash, forecast revenue, and prepare board decks—instantly, accurately, and auditable in real-time.

Backed by $8.5M seed funding from Foundation Capital, the CEO of Perplexity, authors of the GPT paper, and leaders from Ramp, SAP, and Gusto, we’re solving the $1T+ financial back-office problem with cutting-edge AI infrastructure.

Founded by ex-Microsoft leaders who scaled Azure Finance ($200B+/yr) and Azure Data & AI ($200M+ ARR), we’re building a high-caliber team from the ground up.
