Minerva: AI accounting for small businesses sitting on top of QuickBooks — raising $2M seed, three-quarters complete
Key Points
- Minerva automates the labor-intensive parts of bookkeeping by integrating with QuickBooks as a layer rather than replacing the software outright.
- The founder, who previously built AI health tech and worked in quantitative trading at Tower Research and Citadel, is raising a $2M seed round three-quarters complete.
- Minerva consolidates scattered financial data from email, WhatsApp, Stripe, and other sources to handle tasks accountants typically manage manually.
Summary
Minerva is building AI bookkeeping automation for small businesses. Rather than replace QuickBooks, it sits on top of the accounting software and automates the service-side work that accountants typically handle: chasing down receipts, making calls, and consolidating scattered financial data from email, WhatsApp, Stripe, and other sources.
The founder came from quantitative trading backgrounds at Tower Research and Citadel, and previously built a health tech business selling AI patient triage software to clinics.
Minerva is raising a $2M seed round, roughly three-quarters complete as of YC Demo Day. The founder described traction as strong coming out of demo day.
