StartOS
The operating system for software startups.
From first dollar to first audit. One platform replaces accounting, metrics, cap table, and investor updates, owning the general ledger and giving every audience (founders, CFOs, investors) the same numbers.

01, The problem
A fragmented stack costs more than money.
Early-stage software companies stitch together Carta for equity, QuickBooks for books, a spreadsheet for SaaS metrics, and a deck for investors. Each tool optimises for one audience and leaks data into the others. By Series A, the CFO is reconciling four sources of truth before every board meeting, the founder doesn't trust any of the numbers, and the cap table on the deck disagrees with the one in Carta.
The cost isn't the licenses. It's the human hours spent making numbers agree that should have agreed in the first place, and the slow erosion of trust when they don't.
02, What StartOS is
One platform that owns the general ledger and serves three audiences, founders, CFOs, and investors, from the same underlying truth.
SaaS metrics (MRR, ARR, NRR, burn, runway, Rule of 40) computed from live GL transactions, not a spreadsheet. Cap table integrated with the books, so a priced round posts the journal entry and updates ownership in one step. VC and PE portals where investors see the same numbers the founder sees, with per-investor visibility controls.
An AI agent (Iskra) that answers questions in Slack, “what's our runway?”, “top vendors this quarter?”, “how many engineers are based in California?”, using typed Prisma-backed tools, not hallucinated math. Every number traces back to the row in the GL it came from.
03, Replaces and augments
Replaces: the legacy stack.
Accounting
Native double-entry GL with a SaaS chart of accounts. AI bill reader that extracts a vendor invoice into a ready-to-approve bill. Bank, card, and Stripe feeds reconciled with AI categorisation.
Metrics
MRR, ARR, NRR, burn, runway, Rule of 40, cohort retention, computed from the live GL, not spreadsheets.
Cap table
Integrated rounds, grants, share classes. Carta CSV migration. Dilution modelling without a separate tool.
Investor updates
Live VC and PE portals. Per-investor visibility controls. Auto-generated LP reports and quarterly tear sheets.
Month-end close
A 22-step checklist with smart data checks, an Adjusting Journal Entry module for the five things that break every audit (SBC, bad debt, tax provision, depreciation, deferred revenue), year-end close with period locks, and reversing accruals that post automatically on day one of the next period.
FP&A and forecasting
Revenue forecast with pipeline deals from HubSpot and Salesforce, scenario modelling, accuracy tracking, and per-month adjustments. Mosaic and Cube replaced without a separate seat.
Augments: what no incumbent ships at all.
Iskra
A conversational finance agent that answers in Slack and the web app using typed Prisma-backed tools, so every number traces to a row in the GL.
IskraFlow
Describe a workflow in plain English and Iskra turns it into a multi-step agent runtime, with preview and undo on every state-changing step.
Cross-portfolio intelligence
Because the same platform powers startups and investor portals, VC and PE firms see shared vendors, volume-discount opportunities, and real benchmarks computed from GL, not self-reported snapshots.
AI throughout the seams
Bill reader, categorisation that learns from your history and the network, spend anomaly detection, continuous controls.
AI Spend Attribution
The only platform that classifies AI dollars as COGS, R&D, S&M, or G&A. Gross margin tells the truth in an era when a single Anthropic invoice spans four cost functions.
Six GAAP modules at startup price
ASC 606, 842, 718, 326, 740, and 350-40 are all native. Not six spreadsheets, not Enterprise-gated add-ons. The pre-audit problem most $5M–$50M ARR SaaS companies have never solved.
04, My role
Solo founder. Product, engineering, design, go-to-market, finance, fundraising, for now, all of it. The build velocity is the bet: 100+ product phases shipped over the past year, a finance platform deep enough that the founder uses it as their own books.
Pre-seed/seed, raising $2.5–3M to add a small team and move from early access to general availability.
Two-sided product, two ICPs. Software startups subscribe at $199, $299, or $599 a month depending on stage. VC and PE firms subscribe from $25K/yr, banded by fund size, with deeper portfolio visibility, benchmarking, and reporting included as the tier scales.
