AI agents for corporate finance teams
HQ: New York, NY | Founded: 2022 | Employees: 35 | Stage: Series A | Website: https://concourse.ai
Concourse builds enterprise-grade AI agents for corporate finance teams. The platform connects to a company's existing financial systems and enables finance teams to retrieve and analyze data through natural language. AI agents automate manual data retrieval, reporting, and analysis tasks. The platform shows its work — from logic to underlying queries — so teams can trust the answers. Founded in 2022 by Matthieu Hafemeister (CEO) and Ted Michaels. Hafemeister was Head of Growth at Jeeves (YC S20, $2.1B unicorn) and a fintech investor at Andreessen Horowitz. Michaels was Head of Finance at Jeeves. YC Winter 2023 batch. Raised $500K from YC, followed by a $4.7M seed round in Oct 2024 from a16z, YC, CRV, and BoxGroup. In Jan 2026, raised a $12M Series A led by Standard Capital (founded by Dalton Caldwell and Paul Buchheit, creator of Gmail) with participation from a16z, CRV, and YC, plus CFO angels from OpenAI, Vercel, Cursor, Carta, 1Password, and Brex. 19x revenue growth and 13x customer base growth in 12 months. Customers include Palo Alto Networks, Vercel, Carta, Front, Tecovas, Instabase, and Shef. HQ in New York, NY.
Concourse is well-positioned in the AI-for-finance space with strong credentials: the founding team scaled Jeeves to a $2.1B unicorn, and Matthieu was an a16z fintech investor giving them deep VC relationships. The $17.2M raised from top-tier firms (a16z, Standard Capital, CRV) with 19x revenue growth and enterprise logos like Palo Alto Networks shows strong product-market fit. The 'show your work' approach (AI agents that explain their logic) addresses the trust issue that plagues AI in finance. Key risk: increasingly crowded AI-for-finance space with Abacum, Cashboard, and others.
