What Tabula does

We build autonomous accounting software. Every company should have financial insights at a fingertip - not just big enterprises with dedicated finance teams. For the first time, AI makes this possible. In the intelligence age, business owners with no financial expertise will get access to all the latent knowledge hidden in their books. Businesses will operate with a level of clarity, confidence, and speed that is almost unimaginable today.

Autonomous Accounting Software

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build autonomous accounting software that gives businesses financial insights without needing a finance team. Our AI analyzes companies' books to surface the latent knowledge hidden in their accounting data. This lets non-expert business owners understand their finances clearly and quickly.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Berlin, Germany, and the company is based here. After YC, we will remain based in Berlin.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Berlin because our founders live here and because the region has strong expertise in AI and software. Staying here allows us to build a focused team close to home while accessing global customers remotely.
