The AI platform for private markets investors
HQ: New York, NY, United States | Founded: 2025 | Employees: 20-30 | Stage: Seed | Website: https://f2.ai
About
F2 is an emerging company focused on innovation in the B2B sector.
The Take
F2 is a vertically integrated AI platform purpose-built for private markets underwriting — the only product that deterministically evaluates live Excel formulas via a proprietary server-side engine (scoring 95.25% on SpreadsheetBench Verified), couples it with a three-layer audit trail (claim → formula → source), and compounds institutional knowledge across every deal a firm completes. With $24M raised, 100+ enterprise customers including Bain Capital, Live Oak Bank, and Jefferies Credit Partners managing $400B+ in AUM, and 650% MAU growth in 2026, F2 is the emerging standard for how private credit and PE teams actually underwrite deals — not a horizontal AI wrapper, but infrastructure that embeds directly into the Excel-centric workflows where analysts spend 80% of their time.
