Define how the world's largest advisory firms adopt AI

Crunched is building the world's most powerful AI analyst for strategy and corporate finance workflows: autonomous, agent-based AI that works directly inside Excel, where half of the world's business decisions are made. We are backed by Y Combinator, have raised a 55M NOK seed round, and our product is already trusted by professionals at firms including BCG, BDO, CBRE, Dentsu, Pareto, PwC, INSEAD, and Harvard.

Why Crunched can win

Large AI platforms like Anthropic are serious competitors. Crunched is different because we build deeply for the top 1–2% of Excel power users and their highly specific workflows. In every direct customer evaluation against competing products so far, Crunched has won on quality. First Round reviewed pitches from 75 AI-for-Excel startups over the past year and chose to invest in Crunched.

Traction

• 12 people today: 6 engineers and 6 in go-to-market, including one AE, one CS, one BDR, and two co-founders working across AE and CS
• Target deals are large enterprise contracts in the $500k–$4M ARR range. Our largest current deals are $300k, and we are now moving into pilots where every single deal is >$1M
• Fastest company ever to sign an MSA with a Big Four firm: PwC, our core ICP. Every large office alone represents 7-figure contract potential
• Highly enterprise-focused, multi-threaded sales motion into PwC, EY, KPMG, and other advisory and audit firms. The typical cycle is 4–6 months: a demo-led first meeting, security review, then a 2–3 week POC
• Outbound is working extremely well: at peak, our BDRs book 3–5 meetings per person per day
• As the GTM team grows, this is a genuine path toward go-to-market leadership, not a narrow individual-contributor role
