Synthetic raises $10m to create AI-powered bookkeeping platform

US-based fintech start-up Synthetic has secured $10 million in seed funding in a round led by Khosla Ventures. Basis Set Ventures also took part in the round alongside a number of angel investors.

Connecting to customers’ banks, payroll, billing systems, and inboxes, Synthetic is building an AI-powered digital bookkeeping service for software-as-a-service (SaaS) and AI businesses. 

Commenting on Synthetic’s launch roadmap, founder and CEO Ian Crosby states: “I’m not sure if it’s yet technologically possible to make this work.”

He continues: “AI is notoriously unreliable, and no one wants to entrust their accounting to a system which might get it wrong. Our focus is on quality control and we’re not going to release this until we feel confident that it’s more reliable than a human bookkeeper. I’m not sure if that’s going to be six months or six years.”

In a statement, Checker says that it will use the funds to “deepen its global payments coverage to replace traditional correspondent banking dependencies”.

Jia bags $3m to expand invoice financing platform

Jia, a US-based lendtech, has secured $3 million in a funding round led by Coinbase Ventures. Stellar Development Foundation and A100x also participated in the round, alongside existing backers TCG and Hashed Emergent. 

Established in 2022 by Zach Marks and Cheng Cheng, Jia provides start-ups in emerging markets with invoice financing. After uploading an invoice onto its platform, Jia claims that businesses are able to access flexible financing within 24 hours, with terms lasting up to six months, rates between 3-5%, and fees ranging between 1-5%.

In a LinkedIn post, Marks writes: “A small supplier might look unbankable on paper. No collateral, short operating history. But if they’re getting paid consistently by a major hotel chain or a multinational distributor, that changes everything. That’s what our AI credit model Ossicone is built on. We’ve financed 15,000+ invoices.”

Alacriti secures growth investment

US paytech Alacriti has secured an undisclosed sum of growth equity investment in a round led by Sageview Capital with support from BMO Capital Partners and Curql Fund.

In a statement, Alacriti says the new capital will fuel “expansion across payments modernisation, fraud prevention, AI-driven intelligence, and digital money solutions”. 

Alacriti also featured in the news recently when Arizona Financial Credit Union selected the paytech’s Orbipay Payments Hub to modernise its wire transfer operations.
