Today, we’re excited to share a major milestone for Exante — we’ve raised a $2.6M funding round led by Urban Innovation Fund, with participation from a host of incredible angel investors.

This funding marks the beginning of a bold expansion of our platform and vision. We’re on a mission to transform how modern finance teams run their operations — and unlock a level of automation previously out of reach, powered by AI agents.

Why We Started Exante

Finance teams are facing a wave of new challenges. With outdated systems, disconnected tools, and a shortage of experienced talent, leaders are being pushed to deliver more impact with fewer resources — all while maintaining accuracy and strategic focus.

Through our own experiences, and countless conversations with CFOs, VPs of Finance & Controllers, we’ve seen a clear pattern emerge: the core infrastructure of financial operations — especially when it comes to revenue and accounts receivable — just isn’t working. Managing revenue today means jumping between CRMs, ERPs, billing points solutions, BI dashboards, and spreadsheets, all stitched together by manual effort. It’s slow, error-prone, and draining for teams trying to move at the speed of the business.

Unlike sales or marketing, finance has historically lacked meaningful automation. Why? Because finance workflows are deeply nuanced, context-sensitive, and span across messy, disconnected systems. Existing software tools are rigid and rules-based — they struggle with exceptions, edge cases, and anything that doesn’t follow a narrow template. As a result, finance teams are still relying on massive spreadsheets, manually tracking billing schedules, and reconciling invoices that are outdated the moment they’re created.

For too long, this was accepted as the cost of doing business. We started Exante to change that.

Why AI Agents Change the Game

AI agents represent a step change in what software can do.

Unlike static automation or traditional bots, AI agents combine large language models (LLMs), access to external systems, memory of prior actions, and contextual reasoning. They can observe data across platforms, understand the state of a workflow, and autonomously decide which actions to take — all while learning and adapting over time.

In finance operations, AI agents function as intelligent collaborators that can understand context, make decisions, and take action across systems. They’re able to interpret information, adapt to changing conditions, and coordinate workflows that span multiple tools and teams. Rather than relying on static rules, these agents continuously learn from their environment and operate with a level of flexibility and autonomy that mirrors human judgment — but with the speed and consistency of software.

This is not just automation — it’s intelligence, autonomy, and adaptability working across traditionally siloed, cross-functional workflows. It’s the kind of finance automation that’s finally ready for the real world.

What We're Building at Exante

Exante is an AI agent platform purpose-built for modern finance teams — starting with the contract-to-cash cycle.

With Exante, you can:

1. Centralize customer contracts or agreements for the end-to-end visibility

2. Automatically generate billing schedules based on contract & payment terms.

3. Schedule and send invoices through integrated payment platforms ensuring timely delivery.

4. Monitor payment status, track real-time metrics, and automate collections efforts.

5. Access dashboards, reporting, and proactive alerts — all in one place.

Instead of chasing spreadsheets, finance teams get a unified hub for finance operations: accurate, proactive, and fast. We help finance teams ensure data consistency, drastically reduce the time spent on repetitive, manual work, and, ultimately, accelerate cash flow.

If you're a B2B company with contractual revenue, we’re building this for you!
