Pivot (YC S22)
Pivot (YC S22) is a San Francisco startup building an AI FP&A analyst - an 'AI workforce' that helps founders and finance teams visualize, analyze, and model company financial data faster than Excel. Founded by Raimie Tang and backed by Y Combinator's Summer 2022 batch, Pivot turns raw transaction-level data into reports and dashboards in minutes, automating the grunt work of financial planning and analysis for early-stage companies trying to scale.
Equals
Equals is a next-generation spreadsheet built for business analytics. Founded by two Intercom veterans, it pairs the familiar spreadsheet grid with live connections to data warehouses and business tools, version control, real-time collaboration and, more recently, AI-assisted analysis. The company positions itself as 'AI for the numbers that can't be wrong,' aiming to give finance and go-to-market teams a single, trustworthy place to model ARR, pipeline, retention and other core metrics without exporting CSVs or standing up heavyweight BI stacks.
Abacum
Abacum is an AI-native financial planning and analysis (FP&A) platform built for the office of the CFO. Founded in 2020 by former finance operators Julio Martinez and Jorge Lluch, it pulls financial and operational data into one place so finance teams can forecast revenue, model scenarios, plan headcount, automate reports, and trade spreadsheet drudgery for strategic decision-making. Backed by Scale Venture Partners, Atomico, Y Combinator and others, Abacum has raised over $90M and serves hundreds of mid-market companies across 31 countries, including Strava, Aiven, JG Wentworth and Mastercam.
