Rillet Raises $25M Series A from Sequoia Capital to Bring AI to Mid-market Accounting

The company has quickly become the system of record for the next-generation of finance teams, including those at Windsurf, Decagon, Postscript, and more

NEW YORK, May 28, 2025 — Rillet, the AI-native ERP (enterprise resource planning) platform, today announced $25M in Series A funding led by Sequoia Capital. This round, which comes 10 months after Rillet’s last fundraise, includes existing investors First Round Capital, Creandum, Susa Ventures and top angels, such as former NetSuite CFO, Ron Gill and Lee Kirkpatrick, former Twilio CFO.

Today, many accounting teams are reliant on legacy ERP systems and tools from the 90s, preventing them from fully adopting AI. Products like NetSuite are slow, outdated, highly manual and often bloated and complex from extensive customization. Full utilization of AI requires a single source of truth with clean, accurate data.

Rillet has rebuilt the general ledger to redefine the ERP for the AI age. The platform integrates directly with best-in-class tools, including Salesforce, Stripe, Ramp, Brex and Rippling. Rillet AI agents then automate key accounting workflows from accruals to reconciliation to board reporting and more.

“We’re 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,” said Rillet CEO and founder, Nicolas Kopp.

Rillet empowers customers to close their books in hours rather than weeks, providing fully reconciled financial data in real time to enable faster and better decision making. Leaders no longer need to wait weeks after the month ends to see how the business is performing. This means that leaner, more efficient accounting teams can then focus on higher leverage, more strategic work.

“ERP is one of the largest software categories, yet it has remained virtually untouched for the last decade because reimagining the financial backbone of a business is incredibly complex,” said Julien Bek, the Sequoia partner who led the firm’s partnership with Rillet. “Nicolas has brought together a world-class team to tackle this challenge, combining deep domain expertise with AI-native technology to rebuild the foundation of the CFO suite.”

Sequoia, which is known for partnering with category-defining fintechs like Stripe, Block, and more, has several ex-CFO investing partners. Roelof Botha, managing partner at Sequoia and prior CFO of PayPal 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 launching in 2024, Rillet has seen incredible traction with revenue growing 5x year-on-year and the platform processing billions in transactions. Nearly 200 customers including fast-growing companies like Windsurf, Decagon and Postscript have implemented Rillet to transform their accounting processes.

Windsurf, one of the fastest growing AI companies, runs all their accounting on Rillet: “Rillet feels like it was tailor built for Windsurf and our complex accounting needs. We have a unique blend of products and revenue models and are growing at lightning speed; Rillet handles all of it effortlessly,” said Windsurf VP of Finance, Adam Strouss.

This new funding and support from Sequoia will allow Rillet to further accelerate the development and deployment of AI within the platform and enable them to further build out the go-to-market and customer support functions.

WANDER RAISES $50M SERIES B TO BUILD THE TRUSTED BRAND IN VACATION RENTALS

1,000+ locations. Industry-leading 85 NPS. A better way to stay.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2025 — The short-term rental market is massive, but it remains deeply fragmented. For guests, every booking feels like a gamble. For owners, managing a property is anything but passive. The result is an experience that’s often inconsistent, unsupported, and unreliable. Consistency and quality is needed now more than ever. Wander is fixing that—end to end.

Today, the company announced a $50 million Series B funding round, co-led by QED Investors and Fifth Wall with participation from Redpoint Ventures, Uncork, Starwood, and Breyer Capital and many other returning and new investors. The capital will accelerate Wander’s expansion and deepen its investment in WanderOS, its proprietary AI operating system that manages logistics and guest needs with hotel-grade consistency, at scale.

“We are excited to continue to support John Andrew and the whole Wander team by co-leading their Series B round. Wander has built a world-class brand with industry-leading software to bring the Wander experience to thousands. Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive with NPS scores in the 70s and 80s. In just one year, the company has signed over 1,000 homes and looks to continue adding coverage to the map. WanderOS has enabled this tremendous growth while making the process for owners to onboard to Wander seamless,” said Chuckie Reddy, Partner at QED Investors.

“The short-term rental market represents a massive and under-optimized asset class, and Wander is uniquely positioned to lead it into its next chapter,” shared Dan Wenhold, Partner, Fifth Wall. “By combining premium inventory, a trusted brand, and category-defining software, Wander is setting a new standard for consistency and scale in a historically fragmented space—delivering an end-to-end, high-touch, high-quality travel experience. We’re proud to co-lead this round and to continue backing John Andrew and the Wander team as they redefine the future of travel.”

A Better Way to Stay. A Better Way to Find Your Happy Place.

Wander is building the first true brand in short-term rentals—one that combines the dependability of a luxury hotel with the warmth and character of a thoughtfully designed home. Rather than trying to capture the entire market, Wander focuses on the top 5% of properties, the homes that already drive 30% of the industry’s revenue. These properties are then elevated through WanderOS, which brings consistency and operational excellence across every single touchpoint of the guest and owner experience.

With Wander, every stay includes:

  • Spaces that look even better than the photos
  • Premium beds, fast Wi-Fi, and seamless check-in
  • Smart, always-available concierge support powered by humans and AI

In Q1 2025, Wander earned an industry-leading customer NPS of 85, demonstrating that trust and satisfaction are not only possible in this category: they’re scalable.

Scaling Hospitality with AI

WanderOS is transforming the way short-term rentals are operated, automating everything from listing creation to maintenance coordination. Wander is on track to automate 95% of operational tasks within the next 18 months.

As of April 2025, Wander has more than 1,000 incredible homes live, up 14x year over year, and has seen:

  • 35,000+ total nights booked as of Q2 2025
  • A 92.1% customer satisfaction rate and a 9.3/10 average trip rating
  • 27% repeat customer booking rate

This growth is powered by Wander’s ability to deliver a unified platform that addresses guest experience, owner satisfaction, and operational efficiency, all at scale.

Positioned for Global Impact

Wander is targeting the $35B+ tier of luxury homes across North America and beyond – the properties that guests remember and owners seek to maximize. With this Series B funding, Wander will expand into new markets, invest further in AI-powered operations, and continue building a global brand grounded in quality, trust, and technology.

In a fragmented category, Wander is stitching it all together. Unrelenting brand standards. Customer delight. Distribution. Operations. All under one roof. For those who believe short-term vacation rentals should be more reliable, more enjoyable, and more inspiring, Wander is building the future.

Find your happy place.

The firm blends a research-driven, thesis-led investment approach with Virent Drive™, a proprietary technology-enabled operating platform powered by an elite network of experts and capabilities designed to help companies modernize, scale, and accelerate growth.

Virent targets control investments in U.S.-based companies with under $8 million of EBITDA.

Minset Raises Funding to Scale AI Agent That Solves For Healthcare’s $400B Revenue Cycle Problem

HealthX Ventures backs Minset’s intelligent agent, Mia, to automate claims, denials, and payments across the revenue cycle.

BOSTON, May 28, 2025 — Minset, the company behind the first multi-skilled agentic AI platform purpose-built for healthcare revenue cycle management, today announced a seed funding round led by HealthX Ventures, a leading digital health venture firm. The funding will accelerate product development and scale go-to-market efforts as Minset expands its platform to more healthcare organizations worldwide.

As part of this next phase of growth, Minset also announced the appointment of Mike Luessi to lead Growth & Operations. Luessi joins CEO Trey McMillian and CTO Matt Scott, bringing more than 20 years of experience building and scaling high-growth companies. This rounds out an experienced leadership team with deep expertise at the intersection of AI R&D, and scaling complex platforms in healthcare and enterprise technology.

“The investment from HealthX and the addition of Mike to our team accelerates our mission to fix one of healthcare’s toughest financial challenges: Revenue Cycle Management,” said Trey McMillian, CEO of Minset. “We built Minset to end the chaos, not manage it. Our agentic AI platform doesn’t just track revenue work, it does the work. Mia, our multi-skilled AI agent thinks, reasons, and acts to get healthcare organizations paid.”

Meet Mia: Multi-Skilled Agentic AI That Gets Healthcare Paid

Minset is pioneering a new category in healthcare operations: the Autonomous Revenue Cycle (ARC). At the heart of the platform is Mia, Minset’s intelligent, multi-skilled agentic AI. Unlike other platforms that rely on a complex mix of orchestrated single-skilled agents and other tools, Mia handles it all. From coding and denials to payments, Mia’s got it – no bots to wrangle nor micromanagement required.

Mia learns, reasons and resolves revenue cycle issues quickly, helping providers prevent denials, recover revenue, and operate at scale. She works 24/7 and continuously evolves to keep up with payer rules, regulatory shifts, and operational complexity.

Helping over 300 healthcare organizations to date, Mia powers three core products: mCoder to automate medical coding, mDenials to manage denials, and m360 for patient engagement (propensity to pay).

From hospitals and clinics trying to get paid for the care they provide, to insurers overwhelmed by administrative burden, Mia brings intelligence, speed, fairness, and transparency to healthcare finance.

“We are thrilled to partner with Minset to create cutting-edge AI technology to transform healthcare operations,” said Jan Grimm, CEO of Savista, a leading healthcare revenue cycle management services company. “Our combined expertise will empower healthcare organizations with smarter, faster, and more efficient revenue cycle solutions. By partnering on AI solutions, including AI agents, we are poised to modernize the RCM space, delivering unprecedented value to healthcare providers.”

HealthX Ventures, known for investing in companies modernizing healthcare infrastructure, sees Minset as a step-change in the application of AI to healthcare financial operations.

“Minset isn’t automation, it’s autonomy,” said Kristi Ebong, Partner at HealthX Ventures. “This is the first platform we’ve seen that truly replaces the manual work of the revenue cycle, without requiring providers to rip and replace their core systems. The team is solving a real problem with real AI, and the traction speaks for itself.”

“Traditional systems have hit their ceiling. Minset gives healthcare a new ceiling—or better yet, removes it. It delivers clarity where there was chaos, and outcomes where there were only excuses. They’re building what could become the most important financial infrastructure company in healthcare,” said Ebong.

The Minset Platform integrates seamlessly with major EHR and claim workflow systems, replacing spreadsheets, queues, and legacy processes, with a multi-skilled AI agent who’s always on, always improving, and always delivering outcomes.

Cerby Raises $40M Series B to Automate Identity Security at Scale

  • Cerby to use new capital to further innovate its entire solution suite and scale operations in North America and EMEA region.
  • Round was led by DTCP with participation from Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28, 2025 — Cerby, the fastest-growing platform for identity security automation globally, has announced today a $40 million Series B funding round. The round was led by DTCP with participation from existing backers including Okta Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, and Two Sigma Ventures.

As SaaS, cloud, mobile, and on-premise applications continue to proliferate, the enterprise attack surface has expanded dramatically, making the need for autonomous, scalable, state-of-the-art identity security solutions bigger than ever.

Cerby is the first to automate the full identity lifecycle for disconnected applications—from credentials and authentication to lifecycle management and privileged access. It works horizontally across Enterprise Password Management (EPM), Identity and Access Management (IAM), Identity Governance and Administration (IGA), and Privileged Access Management (PAM) systems, helping customers extend protection to the applications and user identities that traditional tools can’t reach.

Cerby will invest the new capital to expand the Cerby Application Network in response to growing customer demand. This will include continued investment in the company’s agentic AI capabilities and making the platform extensible. Cerby will also use the latest funding to further innovate its entire solution suite while scaling go-to-market operations in North America and EMEA.

As part of this strategy, Cerby is prioritizing growth in key markets such as Germany, France, the UK., along with strategic Middle Eastern regions, where regulatory pressure and increasing enterprise complexity are accelerating demand for solutions that secure disconnected applications at scale.

Belsasar Lepe, co-founder and CEO of Cerby, comments: “From day one, we’ve been laser-focused on eliminating the operational burden and security risk created by manual identity workflows—automatically, intelligently, and at scale. We’re building a world where identity security is fully automated—eliminating human error and ensuring no app is left behind.”

Lance Matthews, Partner at DTCP, shares: “We are thrilled to be partnering with Cerby to support them in this exciting new stage of growth. The identity security industry is undoubtedly overdue for transformation—and Cerby is leading that shift with a true platform approach. I am confident that together with Belsasar and the team, Cerby will be able to execute on their bold vision, continuing to build on their proven solutions and unique platform.”

Since raising its Series A less than 20 months ago, Cerby has 10x’d ARR and grown its customer base 5x. The platform now automates identity workflows across more than 2,000 applications and supports over 100 organizations worldwide.

Global brands, including L’Oréal, Fox, Allstate, Chime, and Dentsu rely on Cerby’s platform to automate critical security workflows across their most complex environments.
