Copenhagen’s Plinto raises €2.9 million to help finance teams catch and fix errors with AI agents

What happened

Plinto, a Copenhagen-based startup building an AI-powered controlling platform, has secured €2.9 million in pre-Seed funding. Plinto was founded in early 2025 by Nermina Suljevic, Nielsen, and Sebastian Rehnby, who previously worked for Peakon, the employee engagement platform acquired by US-based Workday in 2021.

The round was led by People Ventures and Emblem, with participation from a group of business angels.

The company’s CTO Andreas Garnæs is also an alumnus of Peakon. Together, they bring experience across product development, engineering, commercial scaling, and working with large international organisations.

In large organisations, the volume of financial transactions exceeds what finance teams can review manually. This work is handled by controllers, who typically resort to spot checks or end-of-month reconciliations, leaving enough room for errors such as incorrect prices, duplicate invoices, or mismatched deliveries.

Plinto wants to solve this problem with AI agents that sit on top of the systems companies already use, such as ERP, documents, bank, and collaboration tools like Slack or Microsoft Teams. When a transaction is flagged, Plinto’s agents are designed not only to alert someone but also to investigate, gather evidence, and follow up with relevant people within the organisation and external contacts.

Plinto says the agents are capable of contacting a supplier about a wrongful invoice, requesting a credit note or preparing a correction for approval. It says one of its customers uncovered around 430 deviations per month in a single part of the business.
