Exclusive: Abacum lands $60M to bring AI to business planning
Abacum, business financial planning startup, landed a $60 million Series B round led by Scale Venture Partners, co-founder and CEO Julio Martínez tells Axios Pro. Why it matters: Businesses are under pressure to forecast accurately — and AI-driven planning tools are increasingly seen as critical. State of play: The business planning software market is enormous, with financial software startups alone having raised nearly $41 billion just last year, per PitchBook. How it works: The New York-based Abacum uses AI and machine learning to help finance teams predict and forecast more accurately, collecting financial and operational data in real-time to help find actionable insights. Abacum also uses agentic AI to help customers anticipate needs and suggest business actions. By the numbers: The company has tripled revenue year to year while keeping headcount flat, Martínez says. OneStream, with a market cap of $6.8 billion, and Anaplan, taken private for $10.4 billion in 2022, illustrate the size of the business planning software market. Zoom in: Cathay Innovation, Y Combinator, Creandum, Kfund and Atomico also participated in the Abacum's Series B. The round took less than two weeks to raise, Martínez says, adding that the company has raised approximately $100 million to date. What they're saying:"There is more uncertainty at seemingly every level of companies," Martínez says. "It's more crucial than ever to have accurate business forecasting and predicting."

Grab your cooler, pack the car: The road trip calls this summer as gas prices fall and economic fears linger
Country roads, take me to vacation. The open road is a preferable getaway this summer for Americans who discovered a love for road trips during the pandemic, are feeling economic uncertainty, or want to take advantage of tumbling gas prices. Road trips also offer a degree of certainty — you won't find yourself abroad as tariffs or border policies change, or the latest flight chaos strikes. James Willamor, 45, is setting out on a 4,500-mile road trip to kick off summer. It's become a passion for him; he estimates he spends between 30 and 40 nights a year camping on both short and long trips. Depending on the length of the trip and gas prices, he spends an estimated $500 to $800 on gas, and he tries to optimize by always using a points credit card and other gas rewards programs. He also plans out meals where he can and carries a small portable refrigerator filled with meats, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables. His favorite part of hitting the road is watching the landscape gradually change, going from rivers to rolling hills to mountains. "It's a lot different than in times when I've flown somewhere and you get on the plane and you get off and you're in a totally different biome," he said. "But spending three or four days driving across and seeing the gradual change is probably my favorite part." Cheaper gas and more driving this summer Already, record numbers of Americans hit the road for the first big vacation weekend of the year, per AAA. It projected that over 1 million more Americans would be traveling by car Memorial Day Weekend compared to last year — an increase from 38.2 million auto travelers in 2024 to 39.4 million this year. The urge to stay domestic seems like it'll continue through the Fourth of July: Airbnb said that bookings within 300 miles of vacationers' origin spots are up 32% over the Fourth of July weekend compared to 2024. Enterprise Mobility, whose brands include Enterprise Rent-A-Car, National Car Rental, and Alamo, told BI that the company is seeing a year-over-year increase in expected leisure travel from their non-airport locations in both June and July — what Enterprise deemed a signal of customers leaning into road trips this summer. "People are continuing to prioritize travel, and our research shows an increased interest in road trips this summer," Bridget Long, senior vice president of North American operations at Enterprise Mobility, said in a statement. At the same time, gas prices have come down from 2022-era highs, making it more affordable to hit the road. Lillian Rafson, CEO of travel agency Pack Up + Go, which plans US-based surprise vacations — where destinations are unknown and travelers give an overview of what they're interested in — said that the last few months have seen a surge of interest in road trip packages, compared to last year. Already, 47% of vacations booked through the agency in June were road trips, compared to 27% last year. Rafson said that during times of perceived economic uncertainty, more travelers opt for her firm's minimum budget bookings rather than their more expensive offerings. She said that during last November's election season, minimum-cost bookings surged; that happened yet again in April and May. "Anecdotally, our team mentioned that we've had a few trips cancelled due to layoffs or fear of layoffs, but not a statistically significant number," Rafson said. "Overall, I think people are quietly opting for a lower-budget road trip instead of a major summer trip. But they're still traveling! Just slightly differently." Saying no to flying For some, flying might not be worth it right now, given recent stories of safety and timing concerns. "Right now, I live very close to Newark Airport, and the craziest delays are happening with the air traffic control and stuff — I mean, that alone is making people iffy about traveling," Dan Pieraccini, an avid domestic traveler and road tripper based in New Jersey, said. Some travelers are opting for road trips just because they want to; Scott Reing, 37, is planning a 2,500-mile-long road trip for his family to the Grand Canyon to commemorate his wedding anniversary. His family alternates between bigger vacations abroad and domestic trips to national parks. This year happened to be a national parks year. In theory, he said, some of the appeal of the domestic trip this time around is price, although the cost will still be hefty with the amount of time they're spending on the road. "You kind of have more control over what you're spending when you're doing a road trip versus going to an all-inclusive or going on a cruise or flying abroad," Reing said. "You really have the choice to stay in a motel or a campsite one night or two nights or 10 nights versus something else." Even so, Reing said he isn't broadly rethinking travel or travel spending; next year, he could end up somewhere abroad, like Japan. Indeed, many Americans are still opting for European or international travel this summer, with some powering through uncertainties and deciding it's worth it. But the road is still calling. Cathy Keibler, a 65-year-old retiree in Indiana, is eagerly planning her first major road trip across the country. She wants to see the country, but has no desire to fly anymore. She and her husband have a new Prius, so they're not too concerned about gas expenses and are planning to bring a cooler to mitigate food costs. Keibler also wants to get a closer view of what's happening in her own country; with unrest and uncertainty, a road trip offers an opportunity to see firsthand how that's reflected in different corners of the nation. "Part of the more idealistic reason for making this road trip is to maybe try to get in touch a little bit with really what's happening out there in the country in a way that we can't really do when we're just driving on the interstates and maybe pulling over at a McDonald's," she said.
