Light, a Copenhagen-based fintech startup, has secured $13M in seed funding to advance its AI-powered general ledger platform.

The financing round was led by Atomico, with significant contributions from Entrée Capital, Cherry Ventures, Seedcamp, and professional athlete Mario Götze. Atomico Partner Andreas Helbig will join Light’s board.

The funds will be utilized to scale Light’s platform, which simplifies financial operations for multinational corporations by unifying accounting, tax, payments, and reporting across different countries and currencies.

Founded by CTO Filip Kozjak and CEO Jonathan Sanders, Light leverages AI to clean and accurately record transactional data, acting as a virtual teammate through a Slackbot that answers both factual and strategic business questions.
