Plinto Secures €2.9M to Catch Financial Mistakes Before They Cost Businesses

Copenhagen-based Plinto has raised €2.9 million in pre-seed funding to help companies identify and resolve financial discrepancies before they affect their bottom line. The investment was led by People Ventures and Emblem, alongside a group of angel investors. The company plans to use the capital to strengthen its technology, expand its customer base and begin entering markets beyond Denmark. <Cite refs={["turn178053view0"]}/>

Founded in 2025 by Nermina Suljevic, Jakob Nielsen and Sebastian Rehnby, Plinto is developing AI agents that continuously check financial transactions against contracts, purchase orders and internal business rules. The founders bring experience from Peakon, the employee engagement software company acquired by Workday in 2021. CTO Andreas Garnæs also previously worked at Peakon. <Cite refs={["turn178053view0","turn877315search1"]}/>

For finance departments handling thousands of transactions, manually reviewing every invoice, payment and order is rarely practical. Teams often rely on spot checks or month-end reconciliations, meaning duplicate invoices, incorrect supplier charges and discrepancies between deliveries and bills can go unnoticed until payments have already been made.

Plinto's software works alongside existing enterprise resource planning systems, financial records, bank connections and workplace communication tools. When it detects an unusual transaction, its agents can investigate the discrepancy, collect supporting documentation and contact the relevant people to resolve the issue. Depending on the situation, they can follow up with suppliers, request credit notes or prepare accounting corrections for approval. <Cite refs={["turn178053view0","turn877315search0"]}/>

The platform is designed to cover both sides of business transactions: order-to-cash, which follows revenue from customer orders through payment, and procure-to-pay, which manages purchasing and supplier payments. Its integrations include Microsoft Business Central, Xero and Visma, as well as more than 2,700 banks. This allows companies to introduce automated checks without replacing their existing financial infrastructure. <Cite refs={["turn178053view0","turn877315search0"]}/>

Early customer deployments have demonstrated the potential value of continuous monitoring. Plinto reports that one customer identified approximately 430 discrepancies in a single business area each month. In another case, its agents detected a duplicate invoice submitted under a different supplier name as soon as it arrived. These examples highlight how small errors can accumulate into significant losses, particularly for businesses operating on narrow margins. <Cite refs={["turn178053view0"]}/>

Plinto already has paying customers and pilot projects in sectors including logistics, real estate, facilities management and food production. The company also emphasises data protection, stating that customer information is processed and stored within the European Union and is not used to train AI models. <Cite refs={["turn178053view0","turn877315search0"]}/>

With its new financing, Plinto aims to move financial oversight away from periodic manual reviews towards continuous, automated verification. Its longer-term ambition is to help organisations detect irregularities, investigate their causes and take corrective action while transactions are still being processed, reducing avoidable costs and giving finance teams greater visibility into business performance.
