Born Capital · Investing in CFOTech

Born for greatness

We believe AI is rebuilding the office of the CFO. We back the founders doing it.

Our vision

AI does the work.
Finance owns the result.

Agents run the workflows
AI is moving from copilots that answer questions to agents that run whole workflows: the close, collections, the forecast. Finance starts managing capacity, not software.
Trust is the product
In finance, mostly right is a disaster. AI earns its place where every number traces back to its source and a person signs off.
Judgment becomes the job
Repetitive work shrinks; work built on judgment grows. The CFO moves from keeping score to designing the system and giving the numbers meaning.
Built into the work
The software that wins puts AI inside the work finance already does, in the ledger, the spreadsheet or the report, with every step traceable and controlled.

We built, ran and sold CFOTech companies ourselves. Now we back the founders putting AI to work in finance.
