What Finlens does
Saurav Tomar and Md Halim founded the company in San Francisco and Y Combinator backed it. The company publishes little about its current product.
The secret
Bookkeeping closes weeks after the month it describes, so the runway a founder reads is always historical. Finlens reads live bank, card and payment data across more than a thousand integrations and categorizes each transaction as it lands, which puts today's number on the screen instead of last month's.
Why NZVC invested in Finlens
NZVC invested in Finlens. We file the company under AI and B2B SaaS on the portfolio wall.
We backed Finlens because early-stage founders need real-time financial clarity but rarely have a finance team, and the existing tools leave them waiting on accountants and stitching together spreadsheets. Finlens uses automation to give founders live cash flow, runway, and metrics in one place, which is exactly the visibility that helps them make faster, better decisions. The team is building for a large and constant population of new startups, at a point where AI makes this kind of automated bookkeeping genuinely reliable.
