As an AI-enabled service and fund administrator, we’ve become the way fund CFOs adopt AI. We've raised $31 million from Emergence (investor in Salesforce/Zoom), Susa (investor in Robinhood/Flexport) and angel investor fund CFOs from Bain Capital ($180B), Clearlake ($100B), CD&R ($80B), and Hellman & Friedman ($80B).Our mission is to be the financial infrastructure to orchestrate how the world’s capital is operated, governed and allocated.

You're embedded with billion-dollar CFOs as they navigate the biggest technology transformation in fund finance. This isn't "implementation." It isn't "customer success." It's the closest thing to founding a company while inside one - you are the person who makes sure the world's most sophisticated CFOs actually get value from AI.To date, deployment has been owned by our CEO Chris and our founding team. The pipeline is overflowing, the product wins demos, and the single biggest constraint is now the gap between "signed" and "evangelist." That's where you come in.
