Private beta for venture-backed founders
Organize your entrepreneurial life.
Andrew is the AI operating partner for venture-backed founders. Fundraising, hiring, customers, and the books, from pitch deck to exit.
Wants a call this week. Two slots open.
The operational burden on building a company is enormous.
Tools sprawl.
You're the integration layer between Brex, Stripe, HubSpot, Greenhouse, QuickBooks, Notion, four banks, and a spreadsheet your CFO keeps in a folder you can't find.
Things slip through cracks.
Customer renewal missed. Candidate ghosted. The 30-day tax filing nobody told you about, found three months late, costing you five figures. Each gap costs more than the tool would have.
You can't see the company.
Real runway. Real pipeline. Real hiring plan. Spread across 12 dashboards, none of which tell the same story.
Built for venture-backed companies.
Not retrofitted for them.
QuickBooks was designed for the corner deli in 1992. Founders are still using it to close the books of venture-backed software companies in 2026. Your revenue is recurring and deferred. Your biggest expense is engineering headcount. Your hosting bill is part COGS and part R&D. You raise on SAFEs, you carry an option pool, you live by gross margin and burn multiple. None of that is what the software was built for.
Every modern alternative either wraps QuickBooks, charges a fortune, or fixes the bookkeeping and leaves close, cap table, and reporting untouched. AI changed what one person can run. But general-purpose AI has no system of record, so it cannot be trusted near your books. Andrew is built the other way around: a real double-entry ledger first, AI on top of it, and nothing posts without your approval.
A 1992 general ledger with AI bolted on top.
A ledger designed for deferred revenue, SAFEs, option pools, and burn.
Books in one tool, cap table in another, pipeline in a third.
One ledger. Every layer reads from it.
AI that guesses at your numbers.
AI that reads your actual books, and proposes before it posts.
Built on the books. Tied to the journey.
Every action a founder takes has an economic impact. A closed round, a signed customer, a new hire. Andrew walks each one from first touch to the moment it hits your books, and records it once. No separate tools drifting apart. One ledger every layer reads from.
The moment each journey turns real, it lands here. Recorded once. No double entry, no drift.
Replace what we can. Integrate what we can't.
Andrew replaces the nine tools you're stitching together, and connects to the few that stay.
Replaces
Integrates with
One operator. Six surfaces. Always on.
Fundraising
From first investor call to closed wire. Andrew handles research, deck reviews, the data room, SAFE and round paperwork, and your monthly updates.
Talent
Hire like you already have a recruiter. Job posts, pipeline, offers, equity grants, and onboarding, without the headcount.
Customers
See every customer's health before they churn. Pipeline, contracts, invoicing, and retention signals. Revenue ops without the HubSpot bill.
Cap table & equity
Walk into your Series A with a clean cap table. Founder and employee equity, vesting, option grants, and filings on time. No Carta required.
Back office
Close every month without hiring an accountant. Books, payroll, vendor payments, compliance, and filings. Audit-grade, done quietly in the background.
Intelligence
The numbers your board asks for, ready before they ask. Runway, burn, hiring plan, cohorts, and board-ready metrics on demand.
Your daily brief. The five things that matter.
Good morning,
Five things on deck today:
- 1.Reach out to Andrew Lee at Floodgate. Intro from Doug last week, best to follow up before Thursday.
- 2.Two new candidates entered the Senior PM pipeline overnight. Worth a quick review and tag.
- 3.AWS bill is up 18% this month. Andrew flagged three over-provisioned services for your call.
- 4.Your Q2 board update is due Friday. First draft is in your inbox, needs your edits.
- 5.Three customers crossed 80% of their usage limit. Expansion conversation worth opening.
— Andrew
Andrew thinks ahead. You move.
