Accounting technology startup Rillet raises $25m
Rillet, an accounting technology startup, has secured $25m in its Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital. The investment, which follows Rillet's previous fundraising round ten months ago, includes participation from existing investors such as First Round Capital, Creandum, Susa Ventures, and angel investors such as former NetSuite CFO Ron Gill and former Twilio CFO Lee Kirkpatrick. Rillet intends to use the funds to speed up the integration and rollout of artificial intelligence (AI) in its platform, while also strengthening its marketing, sales, and customer service operations. Founded in 2024, the startup aims to address the challenges faced by accounting teams reliant on legacy enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems from the 1990s, which hinder the full adoption of AI. Rillet stated that many products are sluggish, obsolete, heavily manual, and overly complicated due to extensive customisation. It emphasised that fully leveraging AI demands a unified, reliable data source with clean, precise data. Rillet's platform is designed to 'redefine' ERP for the AI age by integrating with tools such as Salesforce, Stripe, Ramp, Brex, and Rippling. Its AI agents are designed to automate key accounting workflows, including accruals, reconciliation, and board reporting, facilitating faster and more efficient financial operations. By providing 'real-time', 'fully reconciled' financial data, Rillet says it empowers customers to close their books in hours rather than weeks, enabling quicker and more informed decision-making. Rillet CEO and co-founder Nicolas Kopp said: 'We are a team of accountants building for accountants. This means everything from the reports to the workflows is tailor-built for the challenges CFOs and controllers deal with on a daily basis.' Sequoia managing partner Roelof Botha added: 'Rillet has rethought the general ledger to automate accounting with real-time integrations and AI-driven workflows, allowing finance teams to work smarter and businesses to scale faster. 'This modern approach helps CFOs capture the full value of AI, and, ultimately, positions Rillet as the system of record for the next generation of finance teams.' Since its launch, Rillet claims to have experienced a fivefold year-on-year increase in revenue and the platform processing billions in transactions. Nearly 200 customers, including companies such as Windsurf, Decagon, and Postscript, have adopted Rillet to for their accounting processes.

Harvard ban threatens startup pipeline
President Trump's decision to prevent international students from studying at Harvard could hurt America's economy by reducing the number of startup founders. Why it matters: Trump is aiming at Harvard, but buckshot may hit the innovation engine that America needs to stay ahead of China. 🧮 By the numbers: Around 44% of U.S. unicorn companies — startups valued at $1 billion or more — are founded or cofounded by immigrants. Some of them moved to the U.S. as children, but many came for school, then stayed to build their businesses. An Axios analysis shows that around two dozen U.S. unicorns were founded or cofounded by international students who studied at Harvard. Under Trump's rule, none of them would have been allowed to enroll. Among those unicorns are payments giant Stripe, cybersecurity firm CloudFlare, crypto brokerage FalconX and generative AI startup Writer. 🔬 Zoom in: Harvard ranks as one of America's top schools for educating startup founders, ranking third for undergrads, second for grad students, and first for MBAs, according to PitchBook. The big picture: Harvard is just one U.S. university out of thousands, but it has an outsized global reputation. For the more than 6,000 current Harvard students, some may seek to transfer — although it could be quite onerous, particularly for those in the midst of scientific graduate degrees that are tied to specific professors.

Exclusive-Grammarly secures $1 billion from General Catalyst to build AI productivity platform
By Krystal Hu Grammarly has raised $1 billion in non-dilutive financing from General Catalyst to expand its artificial intelligence (AI) offerings, aiming to grow into a comprehensive productivity platform, the companies told Reuters. Grammarly, known for its popular writing assistant tool, plans to use the capital to fund sales and marketing costs and strategic acquisitions. It looks to use AI to build more communication-based productivity tools and even hosts third-party tools on its platform by leveraging access to its 40 million daily users. The investment, one of the biggest out of General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund (CVF), could help late-stage tech companies like Grammarly accelerate growth by using dedicated capital to acquire new customers. By reallocating funds typically tied up in sales and marketing, Grammarly can invest more in product development. In return, General Catalyst doesn't receive an equity stake in Grammarly, but will get a capped return linked to revenue generated through using this capital. This is structured as a percentage of the revenue generated from the fund being used in customer acquisition. Founded in 2005, Grammarly has an annual revenue exceeding $700 million and is profitable. In December, Grammarly appointed Shishir Mehrotra, previously CEO of the acquired productivity platform Coda, as its new leader, signaling a push into broader AI-powered workplace tools. "As Grammarly is going through a huge transformation of going from being a what is mostly known as a single-purpose agent to being an agent platform, it just felt very important for us to be able to bet big in our product development and in M&A as well as in our growth strategies," Mehrotra said in an interview. He added said the company has an eventual goal to go public, although no imminent plans. "I'm right now just focused on making sure we're innovating with new products, growing as fast as we can. But when we feel ready, we'll go public," Mehrotra added. The dedicated growth investment, if it pays off, could also benefit the valuation of Grammarly and General Catalyst's stake in the company, as it has also been an equity investor in Grammarly's series B funding in 2017. San Francisco-based Grammarly has raised over $550 million in venture capital, according to PitchBook. It was last valued at $13 billion in 2021. General Catalyst's Customer Value Fund operates by drawing capital from the firm's main investment fund, including a newly raised $8 billion. This approach is part of a strategic evolution for the investment firm, led by CEO Hemant Taneja, as it seeks to grow beyond the traditional venture capital model, including creating innovative funding mechanisms. Its customer acquisition fund has invested in nearly 50 companies, including Lemonade and Fivetran, as it leads on growth metrics to a more predictable path to returns. "Companies like Grammarly basically have a machine where they can invest dollars in sales and marketing and generate a very consistent return," said Pranav Singhvi, Managing Director at General Catalyst, "With this wave of AI, giving Grammarly the firepower to actually go and invest could land those customers beyond the 40 million."
