Agent F raises $4M
Berlin-based Agent F, which is building AI agents to automate accounting, financial controlling and planning for high-growth companies, has raised $4 million in pre-seed funding. Los Angeles-based Alpha Edison led the round.
Alpha Edison’s partners have experience helping build technology companies including Microsoft, Apple, Google and Snap. Agent F is developing an AI-native enterprise resource planning platform that connects existing financial and operational systems, consolidates financial information, connects banking data with accounting software such as DATEV, and tracks KPIs. The system carries out tasks across the tools a company already uses, documents its actions for traceability and presents the results for human approval.
Co-founder and CEO Felix Schläger says the startup aims to reduce the operational burden that comes with accounting, financial controlling and planning as companies grow. Agent F works by learning existing workflows rather than requiring companies to reorganize around its software. The platform can expand into bookkeeping, controlling, financial planning and warehouse management, and supports multiple legal entities, currencies and countries.
According to Schläger, administrative tasks that previously took five to six hours a week have already been reduced to around one hour. The system takes over repetitive work across tools while leaving an audit trail, and nothing is finalized without human approval.
“Initially, I also thought there might be a reduction in jobs as a result of this technology. But what we’ve experienced has been almost the opposite.”
