Talky Labs raises €1.5 million to automate corporate finance with AI

Talky Labs, a Madrid-based startup applying artificial intelligence to accounting and operational finance, has closed a pre-seed funding round of 1.5 million euros.

The company will use the money to keep developing its platform, which is designed to learn from the way finance teams work. The aim is for the software to take over tasks that until now have depended on the experience and knowledge of accountants and finance staff.

Why it matters

Accounting and day-to-day financial operations remain largely manual in many large organizations, relying on specialists who know the exceptions and internal rules of each business. Talky's approach is to have AI learn those criteria rather than force companies to rewrite their processes from scratch.

The round is modest in size, as is typical for the pre-seed stage, but it shows continued investor interest in AI tools aimed at back-office functions. Large companies are the startup's target customers.

What comes next

With the new capital, Talky Labs plans to advance its product and platform. Further details on investors, hiring plans or customer deployments were not part of the announcement summary.
