Alumni Q&A

How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
The founders began with a bootstrapped bookkeeping company and found that their customers shared the same difficulties with accounts receivable and revenue tracking, including manual invoice chasing, payment reconciliation, and revenue recognition. They shifted focus to build LedgerUp as an AI agent that automates the full quote-to-cash workflow, covering usage-based billing, collections, and ARR calculations.

Summarized from the founders' answers on their Y Combinator profile.
