# Rowspace

> Rowspace is a San Francisco AI company that turns a financial firm's own proprietary data into a compounding edge. Its platform connects structured and unstructured data across a firm's entire history, models how that firm operates and reasons, and delivers that intelligence inside the tools teams already use - Excel, Microsoft Teams, and internal systems. Founded by former Notion CTO Michael Manapat and two-time CFO Yibo Ling, Rowspace launched in February 2026 with $50 million from Sequoia, Emergence Capital, Stripe, and others.
