HQ: Omaha, Nebraska | Founded: 2020 | Employees: 5 | Stage: Seed | Website: https://logica.cloud
Logica is a visual, collaborative financial modeling platform for FP&A teams. It provides dynamic planning, budgeting, and forecasting as a modern alternative to Excel-based financial modeling. Designed for mid-market finance teams, SMBs, fractional CFOs, and accounting firms. Founded in 2020 by Carissa Castro (CEO) and Leandro Castro (CPO), a husband-and-wife team who met as students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Carissa spent 10 years at Cargill in management and operations roles with extensive financial modeling experience. She holds a BS in Chemical Engineering from Nebraska-Lincoln and completed a software development certification. Leandro was previously co-founder and CEO of MultiMechanics, a deep tech engineering software company that was acquired by Siemens in 2019. He later became an advisor to Anzu Partners (VC/PE firm) and a member of Pipeline (network of midwestern entrepreneurs). YC Winter 2021 batch. The first Nebraska-based company ever accepted into Y Combinator. Raised $125K from YC and $50K from Invest Nebraska in pre-seed, plus $1M+ seed round from Nelnet Ventures, Tribe Capital, SB Opportunity Fund, Open Opportunity Fund. Total $1.18M+. HQ in Omaha, Nebraska.
Logica has a compelling founding team with complementary backgrounds: Carissa (10 years Cargill operations/management, chemical engineering) and Leandro (sold deep tech company to Siemens). First Nebraska company in YC. The product targets the massive Excel-to-cloud FP&A transition. Key risk: competing with well-funded platforms (Anaplan $10B+ valuation, Pigment $1B+, Vena). Very small team (5 people) with only $1.18M raised.
