The Startup That Thinks AI Finance Needs Better Plumbing, Not Another Dashboard
Viewz raised $7 million to rip out the tangle of apps behind every finance team and replace them with one governed ledger. The bet: fix the pipes before you bolt on the AI.
Definite
Definite is a Y Combinator (S26) startup building the data layer for finance agents. It plugs read-only into a company's ERP, ledger, payroll, and payments systems and compiles everything into one clean, always-current model of the books. Finance teams can then build back-office agents in plain English on top of that model - without engineers or data pipelines. The system reads and reconciles, but never writes back and never moves money.
Finmo
Finmo is a Singapore-based fintech building a Treasury Operating System (TOS) - a single, API-driven platform that unifies global payments, multi-currency accounts, cash visibility and forecasting, FX risk management, and working-capital optimisation for finance teams.
