Founded in 2024 by industry veterans Alex Charles, Pierre Anderson, and Martin Lee, London-based Bracket offers a treasury intelligence platform that consolidates bank accounts, automates foreign-exchange processes, and delivers real-time cash visibility for finance teams. The software replaces the spreadsheets and manual methods still prevalent among mid-market companies, giving users a single system of record across their treasury operations. Bracket also operates a bank distribution model, licensing its technology to global banks so they can provide modern treasury tools to their own mid-market customers. The company uses artificial intelligence to streamline workflows and surface actionable insights, aiming to match the functionality large corporates enjoy. With fresh seed capital, Bracket plans to accelerate product development, open offices in Europe and Australia, and grow its workforce over the coming year. No revenue, user, or other operating metrics were disclosed, but the firm has now raised $7 million in external financing.

Optivian is developing an AI Sales Execution platform that deploys autonomous agents to handle non-customer-facing, execution-heavy parts of complex B2B deals, such as building business cases, creating mutual action plans, and suggesting next-best actions. By shifting these tasks from humans to AI, the company aims to break the traditional link between revenue growth and linear sales headcount expansion. Early design-partner deployments have reported a 20 % increase in win rates and a 50 % reduction in time spent on administrative tasks and deal-asset creation. The Helsinki-based startup positions itself in the execution layer of sales tech, differentiating from tools focused solely on analytics and forecasting. Its founding team previously scaled SaaS businesses like Smarp, Haiilo, and Feedtrail to a combined $40 million in ARR, serving clients such as Google, Amazon, and Salesforce. Optivian has even created an internal “AI Advisory Board” of persistent AI personas to help guide company strategy. The fresh funding will go toward expanding product capabilities, scaling early customer deployments, and advancing the vision of AI as an active member of enterprise sales teams.
