Copenhagen’s Plinto raises €2.9 million to help finance teams catch and fix errors with AI agents
Copenhagen-based startup Plinto, which builds AI for real-time financial controlling, has raised €2.9 million in pre-Seed funding. The round was led by People Ventures and Emblem, with a group of business angels also taking part. The company will use the money for product development, signing more enterprise customers and its first expansion outside Denmark.
Plinto was founded in early 2025 by Nermina Suljevic (CEO), Jakob Nielsen (CDO) and Sebastian Rehnby, all formerly of the employee engagement platform Peakon, which Workday acquired in 2021. CTO Andreas Garnæs is also a Peakon alumnus.
The problem Plinto targets is that large organisations generate more financial transactions than finance teams can review by hand. Controllers typically rely on spot checks or end-of-month reconciliations, which leaves room for errors such as wrong prices, duplicate invoices and mismatched deliveries. Plinto's AI agents sit on top of existing systems, including ERP, documents, banks, and tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams. When a transaction is flagged, the agents are meant to do more than alert someone: they investigate, gather evidence and follow up with internal and external contacts. Plinto says they can contact a supplier about a wrongful invoice, request a credit note or prepare a correction for approval.
The company reports that one customer found around 430 deviations per month in a single part of its business, and that at another customer the agents caught a duplicate invoice, submitted under a different supplier name, the minute it arrived. Suljevic notes that many customers work on low margins and usually discover errors only after payment.
The platform integrates with Microsoft Business Central, Xero and Visma, connects to major Scandinavian banks and more than 2,700 others, and covers order-to-cash and procure-to-pay workflows. Plinto has paying customers and pilots in logistics, real estate, facility services and food production. Data is processed and stored in the EU, and the company says it never uses customer data to train AI models.
