The Hook
Finatune is the AI-powered financial operations platform that gives CFOs of growing companies the same data depth and reporting speed as a Fortune 500 finance team — without the headcount.
The Ask
We are raising a $5M Series A to accelerate from $1.2M to $8M ARR. The capital will be deployed across three priorities: expanding the sales team from 3 to 7 AEs to capture the enterprise pipeline already in motion ($2.5M), doubling engineering to build the AI forecasting and scenario modeling modules our customers are requesting ($1.5M), and scaling customer success to maintain 118 percent NRR as we move upmarket ($1M). These investments position us to reach Series B metrics within 18 months.
