Meridian is a New York–based startup building an integrated development environment–style workspace that applies agentic AI to traditional spreadsheet workflows, aiming to modernize and automate financial modeling. The platform connects to external data sources and emphasizes auditability and predictability in AI-generated spreadsheets, reducing uncertainty while retaining the flexibility finance teams need. Founded by CEO John Ling and staffed by alumni from Scale AI, Anthropic, and Goldman Sachs, Meridian seeks to streamline complex financial analyses for large enterprises. Early users include teams at Decagon and OffDeal, and the company reported signing $5 million in contracts in December. Meridian emerged from stealth with a $100 million post-money valuation, positioning itself as a next-generation solution for finance professionals seeking more reliable AI tools. Its long-term vision centers on bringing agentic AI and robust software engineering principles to the historically spreadsheet-driven world of financial planning and analysis.
