Rillet raises $100M Series C at $1B valuation — 2 years after emerging from stealth
Rillet 完成 1 亿美元 C 轮融资，估值达 10 亿美元——距离走出隐身模式仅两年
AI accounting startup Rillet announced a $100 million Series C at a $1 billion valuation on Tuesday, led by Iconiq. Returning investors include Andreessen Horowitz and Sequoia. AI 会计初创公司 Rillet 周二宣布完成 1 亿美元的 C 轮融资，估值达到 10 亿美元，由 Iconiq 领投。跟投方包括 Andreessen Horowitz 和红杉资本（Sequoia）。
Rillet, which emerged from stealth in 2024, is quickly becoming one of the hottest AI startups in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) industry. The company’s platform deploys AI to help finance professionals manage a company’s books. It says it can, for instance, automatically and continuously pull data from sources like Salesforce or Brex. Rillet 于 2024 年走出隐身模式，正迅速成为企业资源规划（ERP）行业中最热门的 AI 初创公司之一。该公司的平台利用 AI 帮助财务专业人士管理公司账目。例如，它能够自动且持续地从 Salesforce 或 Brex 等来源提取数据。
Rillet touts more than 600 companies as customers and says it has doubled its ARR in the past three months. Nicolas Kopp, the company’s co-founder and CEO, said on X that this latest round came together in “less than 48 hours.” The company wasn’t planning to raise, he said, but interest grew because so much had happened since its last round, like an alliance with EY and the jump in ARR and customers. Rillet 声称拥有超过 600 家企业客户，并表示其年度经常性收入（ARR）在过去三个月内翻了一番。公司联合创始人兼首席执行官 Nicolas Kopp 在 X 上表示，本轮融资在“不到 48 小时内”就完成了。他提到，公司原本并无融资计划，但由于自上一轮融资以来发生了许多重大进展（如与安永 EY 达成联盟，以及 ARR 和客户数量的激增），投资方的兴趣随之高涨。
“A year ago, we backed a bold vision for Rillet: that the general ledger could become more than a system of record and instead the operating system for finance,” Seth Pierrepont, general partner, Iconiq, said in a statement shared with TechCrunch. “That vision is now reality.” “一年前，我们支持了 Rillet 的一个大胆愿景：总账系统不仅是一个记录系统，更应成为财务的操作系统，” Iconiq 普通合伙人 Seth Pierrepont 在发给 TechCrunch 的声明中表示，“如今，这一愿景已成为现实。”
Rillet raised a $70 million Series B last year in a round led by Iconiq and Andreessen Horowitz. Shortly before that round, it announced a $25 million Series A led by Sequoia. The company has raised more than $200 million to date. Rillet 去年完成了由 Iconiq 和 Andreessen Horowitz 领投的 7000 万美元 B 轮融资。在此之前不久，它还宣布了由红杉资本领投的 2500 万美元 A 轮融资。截至目前，该公司已累计融资超过 2 亿美元。
The rapid growth of AI startups — and how quickly they can raise large sums — shows how feverish investors remain about AI, especially regarding those poised to disrupt legacy SaaS players like NetSuite. Though reports of a SaaSpocalypse might be overplayed, smoke indeed hints at a fire. AI 初创公司的快速增长，以及它们筹集巨额资金的速度，显示出投资者对 AI 领域依然保持着狂热，尤其是对于那些有望颠覆 NetSuite 等传统 SaaS 巨头的公司。尽管关于“SaaS 灾难”（SaaSpocalypse）的报道可能有些夸大，但无风不起浪，市场确实存在明显的动向。
