About

Dexter provides spend intelligence and AI workflow automation for complex enterprises. The platform uses specialized AI agents to automate repetitive operational tasks across internal workflows, including data entry, reconciliation, reporting, and process management. Designed for enterprises with complex operational environments. Founded in 2024 by Bella Wu (CEO), Vincent Garrigues (CTO), and Caterina Kiehntopf (COO). Wu led the HubSpot automation product team, launching workflow automation products across Marketing, Sales, and Service Hubs. She was Head of Product and Growth at Dance (ebike subscription), and holds a BA in Economics from UChicago. Garrigues was SoundCloud's 2nd iOS engineer and worked up to director of engineering overseeing media streaming and core teams. As principal engineer at Dance, he worked on customer-facing and internal apps. Kiehntopf was the 2nd EMEA employee at Uber JUMP, launching Berlin operations, and was Head of Operations at Dance. YC Fall 2024 batch. Raised $500K from Y Combinator. ~$500K estimated revenue. 5 employees. HQ in Berlin, Germany.

The Take

Dexter has a strong founding team with complementary backgrounds: product (HubSpot automation), engineering (SoundCloud director), and operations (Uber JUMP). The Berlin base gives access to European enterprise talent. The product addresses a real pain point — complex enterprises have fragmented spend data and manual processes. Key risk: enterprise AI workflow automation is a competitive space with well-funded players, and $500K in funding is modest for enterprise sales cycles.
