Today it's 40 years since the Macintosh launched and since then we have been using point-and-click software. At Light, we are introducing a better way of interfacing with your product. Light Command Interface. We believe in a new category of products where users can manipulate the entire API surface of their products via natural language to not be bugged down by the UI model of the designer. Hear more about it and how we think about design in our recent podcast with Monocle

🌟 Transforming Global Finance Operations with AI 🌟 At Light's AI symposium, SAP's VP of AI and Global AI Ethics Lead shared a compelling vision that resonates deeply with Light's product vision. His insights centered on the evolution from task execution to supervising AI-driven processes, empowering people to manage intelligent agents. At Light, we're re-imagine the ERP concept entirely by building a financial suite with a general ledger at the core that can run all global transactions seamlessly. Implementing AI ensures correct data recording for all processes like accounting, tax, payments, and reporting across multiple countries and currencies. And all that comes with much higher efficiency and precision, while team members can focus on other tasks. But above all, the AI acts like a team member, answering questions through a chatbot and delivering strategies based on the given data.

🎥 Famly: Seamless Financial Management for Global Expansion 🎥 Famly, a fast-growing early childhood platform, faced significant scalability challenges as they expanded globally. They needed a robust solution for their finance team to manage this growth across their entities effectively. With Light, Famly found the perfect tool. The no-code workflow management allowed them to scale effortlessly and focus on strategic tasks instead of manual ones. 💬 Rasmus, Head of Finance at Famly, says, "Light ticks all the boxes: open-ended, flexible, customizable, and intuitive. Light's AI enabled our team to automate our multinational accounting without coding. Setup took just two and a half hours!"

Today we're spearheading global finance operations with our automated ledger designed for multinational enterprises. Powered by advanced AI, our platform simplifies complex transactions across borders, setting new standards for precision and efficiency. Join us as we redefine the future of accounting — with backing from the best.

💡 Financial ERPs are a dark, dark place. A dark place where inaccurate reporting, manual reconciliation, 20-second waiting time for a single click, and year-long implementation projects come to life, haunting every CFO in their sleep. Let there be Light. 🥷 Exiting stealth with a $13m Seed led by Atomico, Light isn't dancing around the core problem of the CFO stack — it's going straight for the bullseye, aiming at the elephant in the room: the General Ledger, the single source of truth for a company's financial transactions. Multinationals have no choice but to use NetSuite, and I've yet to see a CFO to be actually happy about this. ☝️ But but but... "This is impossible to build, it's too complex" "Every business is different, every country is different, there's so many edge cases" "No CFO ever got fired for buying NetSuite" 🫡 Only 1.5 years later, here we are. There is Light, live with customers such as Famly, Penneo A/S, Worksome — with AI at its core, and with a product that's actually delightful to use. It's a ridiculously ambitious mission, and they're delivering. 🤝 Jonathan & Filip — it's an absolute privilege to work with you, every day from now on, until every single multinational runs on accurate bookkeeping, processes billions of transactions quickly, gets their reporting through AI, and is finally de-Light-ed. All thanks to the all-star team Peter Marcus Jelena Mahmoud Brett Cosmin Tiago Kasper Horacio Yuval! ✌️ Cherry Ventures Entrée Capital Seedcamp Mario Götze Maximilian Brückner Saul Levin Tom Wilson — great to be working alongside you all, this will be massive. 🙏 Big thanks to Amanda Hultman — who dusted off her accounting skills acquired when working for EY, and who was a fantastic thought partner throughout the investment!

Today, Light has emerged from stealth with a $13M financing round to scale the first AI-powered general ledger for automating global company finances. This round was led by Atomico, with participation from Entrée Capital, Cherry Ventures, Seedcamp, and notable angels like Mario Götze. Light’s mission is to revolutionize ERP software for modern multinationals. Having re-imagined the ERP concept from the ground up, we deliver a financial suite that can dramatically help modern multinationals, with a general ledger that can run all of a company’s global transactions seamlessly. Our AI-driven platform unifies accounting, tax, payments, and reporting across entities, countries and currencies; drastically reducing month-end closing times and enhancing accuracy ✨ Co-founder Jonathan Sanders says, "Legacy systems are slow, costly, and inefficient. With Light, our goal is to help companies understand their finances more accurately and quickly, achieving faster growth and stronger operations." (For more, see link in comments)
