Story

ICONIQ led, Rillet's third raise in 14 months, past $200M total, with Sequoia, a16z and Oak HC/FT returning. The pitch is that legacy ERP was built for humans to key in and check data, so Rillet runs hundreds of agent operations at once inside a real-time general ledger and has accountants review rather than enter. The proof point: Mercor runs more than $2B in ARR on a three-person finance team using it. (Fortune) Tabs reached a $400M valuation the same week attacking order-to-cash from the other end of the ledger. (Crunchbase) Same trade, both ends: selling the removal of finance headcount rather than better software for it.
