About Brightflow
Managing a company’s finances is hard. A company can go from selling $4 million dollars of makeup online to $9 million dollars in a single year. It’s going great, but there is a problem: it seems like the company’s cash may be running out.
We are helping people with simple solutions that impact their understanding and enable actions. It’s the 3-30 person companies who have a great product but don’t have a whole finance team. They’re growing and want to stay focused on delighting their customers.
We help them do that by providing insights into their business in ways they can quickly understand. Join us to build the tools that make it happen.
We’ve experienced the pain of getting good financial data easily – that drove creating Brightflow. We’ve raised money to build the product and already have our first two customers that provide us with valuable insights.
We have backgrounds that include several previous VC-backed startups (founding, running, being first engineers at), private-equity and venture finance, banking, and running our own software companies. We have a mix of countries we’ve lived and worked in, languages spoken, and cultures we’ve experienced.
We’re growth-minded learners, inspired to understand our customers and pragmatically deliver solutions that solve real problems.
