We’re backed by top VCs (Bain Capital Ventures, Khosla Ventures, YC, Picus Capital), and work with customers like Eight Sleep, Webflow, Turo, Notion, Zapier and others.

Our tech stack: TypeScript, React, Python, Mongo, GCP

Aleph | REMOTE PT - ET Hours | AI Software Engineers (frontend, backend and fullstack), Account Executive, BDR, Finance Solutions Engineer | https://www.getaleph.com

Aleph is redefining the world of Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). We operate in a well-defined software category with a multi-billion TAM, yet a lack of a clear winner. We’re here to change that, and our early results speak for themselves.

We’re backed by top VCs (Bain Capital Ventures, Khosla Ventures, YC, Picus Capital), and work with customers like Eight Sleep, Webflow, Turo, Notion, Zapier and others.

What we’ve built so far is the most seamless way to centralize all of a company's financial data – think expenses from Quickbooks or Netsuite, pipeline forecasts from Salesforce – and bring it into the tools finance teams are already using. But the vision goes way beyond that. We’re building the source of truth for a business’ data, and ultimately the platform businesses use to make better decisions.

We’re way ahead of schedule due to our unique approach, with pretty much no churn, and rapid growth despite barely any marketing spend to date.

They do explain why in the post. (Still, you may not agree, of course.)

> We are deploying image and voice capabilities gradually > > OpenAI’s goal is to build AGI that is safe and beneficial. We believe in making our tools available gradually, which allows us to make improvements and refine risk mitigations over time while also preparing everyone for more powerful systems in the future. This strategy becomes even more important with advanced models involving voice and vision.

Makes sense. Also, we wouldn't mind storing that context data in Baseplate, but only selectively and temporarily. As a cache, essentially
Comment · 3 years ago
Looks good, congrats on the launch!

If I understand correctly, I'd need to store all the data that may be needed for user queries in Baseplate. That's a blocker for us. Instead, we are developing prompts that first understand what data is relevant to a particular query, then go fetch that data, and then respond to the query (with an additional call to OpenAI). We then discard the context data.

Is this type of mechanism something you are seeing out there and you may support later?

That's not a thing in (most countries of) Europe any more. I was shocked when I came to the US and saw that checks are still in use
Comment · 6 years ago
At our price range (most invoices are $10k-$50k and in the US), we generate and send invoices from Xero, our accounting software. Customers can pay via check, wire, ACH or Credit Card, and they typically do checks or ACH. For additional context: we automate customer service for ecommerce companies in the 50-500 employee range. Payment methods vary depending on the company size, localization, sector, payment size, etc.

Here's a bunch of startup ideas: http://breakthroughinitiatives.org/challenges/3

I'm mostly kidding. These are hard, hard problems, much better suited to research organizations. Exciting stuff!
