Aleph

Aleph builds financial planning and analysis (FP&A) software positioned as a single source of truth for financial data. The platform connects to ERP, HRIS, CRM and other business systems via more than 150 no-code connectors, syncs that data in real time, and lets finance teams consolidate and transform it with mapping logic, table joins, calculations, stored metrics, pivot tables, custom functions and SQL. Outputs can be consumed through bi-directional Excel and Google Sheets add-ins that sync on demand or on a schedule, or through interactive no-code dashboards for sharing metrics and trends with stakeholders.

The product is applied to financial reporting and close, collaborative budgeting, modeling and forecasting, headcount planning (reconciling HRIS, ATS and spreadsheet data), and investor and board reporting. Since 2025 the company has marketed itself as "AI-native," adding AI agents, assistants and analysts, an AI Scan tool and AI-powered variance analysis with data drill-downs, and an MCP interface for agentic workflows; company messaging emphasizes observability and auditability of AI outputs rather than opaque automation.

Aleph was founded in 2020, took part in Y Combinator's Summer 2021 batch, and operates as a remote team spread across six countries with 30 people as of the YC listing. Named after Jorge Luis Borges' short story "The Aleph" — a point in space containing all other points — the company frames the name as a metaphor for giving FP&A a 360-degree view of company-wide data.

Founding story

The founders' stated premise was that existing FP&A tools attempt to replace Excel and Google Sheets with web-based interfaces, but users continue to work in spreadsheets and then copy results into the tool. Aleph's co-founders asked what a spreadsheet-first FP&A tool would look like — one requiring no new syntax, no consultants, and no months-long implementation — and built the platform around preserving spreadsheet flexibility while adding integrated data infrastructure. Santiago Perez De Rosso serves as Co-Founder & CTO and Albert Gozzi as Co-Founder & CEO.

Business model

Aleph sells its FP&A and financial data platform to businesses, with a self-serve motion (free trial, self-driven implementation without consultants) alongside demo-led sales. The company emphasizes rapid time-to-value — customers describing being live within one to three weeks — in contrast to legacy tools requiring lengthy onboarding.

Traction

The company reports 10X growth in size since its October 2023 Series A announcement, hundreds of customers including Zapier, Turo, Notion, Harvey, Chess.com, Envoy and Postscript, near-perfect retention, and a stated trial-to-paid conversion above 90%. Total disclosed funding is $46M as of September 2025; team size is listed at 30.

Latest developments

In September 2025 Aleph closed a $29M Series B led by Khosla Ventures (Kanu Gulati), with Picus Capital, Bain Capital Ventures and Y Combinator participating, bringing total funding to $46M; proceeds are earmarked for accelerating AI adoption in the Office of the CFO. The company continues to expand AI-native functionality, including AI-powered variance analysis and the Aleph MCP interface for agentic workflows, and is actively hiring engineering and engagement roles.
