    We’ve been looking for a company applying AI to enterprise accounting for 2+ years. After meeting Yogi Goel, Akshaya Srivatsa, and Jack Liao last year, we knew we had to be in business with them. They’re forces of nature with deep empathy for the problem space and technical prowess to reinvent it. We’re excited to lead Maxima’s seed round and double down in its Series A. As the saying goes, “In God we trust. All others, we audit.”

    Anyone who has worked in a CFO org knows what month-end feels like. Data scattered across systems, manual handoffs, endless reconciliations, late nights, and zero room for error. It’s the definition of a hair-on-fire problem. Maxima is launching today to change that. The platform connects to your ERP and all your upstream financial systems, builds a living finance graph, and uses AI agents to prepare and post journal entries, match transactions, run reconciliations, and flag anomalies. Customers are already seeing 80% faster closes, 95% automation of manual tasks, and full auditability. We’re excited to back Yogi Goel, Akshaya Srivatsa, Jack Liao, and the entire Maxima crew as they bring real-time accounting to the finance teams that need it most. Hear more from Yogi, and our investors Aditya Naganath and Josh Coyne ⬇️

    Co-founder & CEO @ Maxima. Agentic AI Platform for Enterprise Accounting. Karma Yogi In training

    Today I’m excited to announce Maxima's $41M in seed and Series A funding, led by Redpoint, Kleiner Perkins, Audacious Ventures with participation from top finance execs at FOG Ventures. We are building the world’s first agentic AI platform for enterprise accounting. The accounting function is at a breaking point: 🔹 The number of public companies restating financials due to accounting errors is at an all time high. https://lnkd.in/gRPSz7kd 🔹 The number of people entering the accounting profession is at an all time low. https://lnkd.in/gJzbX7-S I know this first hand because I’ve spent two decades in finance and accounting, and I’ve seen how painful it is to prepare and close the books every month. I have watched talented people burn out, miss family milestones, or leave the profession because the only way to keep up was 16-hour days for weeks at stretch. So we are going after one of the hardest problem in enterprise using two of the biggest shifts in technology: LLMs and AI agents. We combine LLMs as the system of intelligence with AI agents as the system of action, so our platform prepares the accounting work end to end and takes on the most painful tasks of the month-end close. This isn’t just theory. Maxima is powering accounting automation for leading enterprises such as Scale AI, SpotOn, Rippling, and many others processing millions of transactions governed by precise accounting logic. The impact: up to 80% faster closes, 95% automation of repetitive workflows, with 100% accuracy and auditability. We are deeply grateful to our early believers and partners, including Satish D. and Urvashi from Redpoint; Mamoon Hamid, Josh Coyne, Aditya Naganath from Kleiner Perkins; Nakul Mandan, Samantha Price, Muzzammil Zaveri from Audacious Ventures, and Joe Montana, Michael Ma from Liquid 2 Ventures along with a remarkable group of angel investors who lead finance and accounting organizations around the world from groups like FOG Ventures. What I am proudest of is the team behind Maxima. My co-founders Akshaya, Jack, alongside our engineers who’ve built pinpoint accurate, massive financial systems at Netflix, Robinhood, Bolt, YouTube and Apple, and accountants and controllers who have lived this pain firsthand. This blend of technical excellence and domain empathy is rare, and it gives me conviction that we can finally automate the manual grind and free up the accounting teams to focus on what actually moves the business. Thank you to Reuters (https://lnkd.in/gzXFr7w7) for covering our story — we are just getting started. 🚀 Read our announcement blog post in the comments.

    Excited to share a look into how we built the real-time ML system that powers the Nooks dialer. One of the perennial challenges in applied ML is getting large amounts of high-quality data. Manual labeling doesn't scale, so we built a self-labeling pipeline capable of producing labels at human-level quality. With careful modeling and systems work, our model now detects answered calls in real time faster and more accurately than humans, across millions of calls every day. Working on this with Albert XingMahmoud Khalifa, and Nikoloz Birkadze has been a mix of research, engineering, and problem-solving. We’re looking for more people who want to tackle hard ML problems at scale, come join us at Nooks! https://lnkd.in/e-jeyxGK

  • Since our 1999 investment in Google, Kleiner Perkins has long partnered with teams building the web’s core infrastructure. Today, we are co-leading Parallel’s $100M Series A with Index Ventures. Founded by Parag Agrawal, Parallel Web Systems is building the web for agents. The platform provides a native search API and index that can retrieve, organize, and rank tokens—not blue links—so AI systems can access and reason over accurate, current context. As part of the round, Mamoon Hamid will join Parallel’s board. As Parag puts it: “Agents aren’t issuing keywords. They declare intent and receive high-signal tokens.” Watch Mamoon’s conversation with Parag ⬇️
