The platform aims to replace spreadsheets with intuitive financial modeling, planning, and reporting workflows. It connects to existing accounting tools, data warehouses, and HR information systems, allowing users to write formulas, create models, and build dashboards with live charts, tables, and web content.

This brings the company's total raised to $33.5 million, following a previously undisclosed $5 million seed round led by Andreessen Horowitz.
