A Copenhagen startup just landed €2.9 million to stop companies from bleeding money through unnoticed billing mistakes and duplicate payments. Plinto, founded at the start of 2025, builds AI agents that hunt down transaction errors before they ever reach a company’s bottom line.
The seed round comes from People Ventures and Emblem. For enterprises drowning in transaction volume, the timing matters. Most finance teams still rely on random spot checks or monthly reviews, which means bad charges and double invoices often slip through undetected until long after payment goes out. Plinto wants to kill that latency.
The platform plugs into systems companies already use. ERP software, banking tools, document repositories, Slack, Microsoft Teams. Its AI agents then review every transaction against contract terms, budgets, and internal policies. When something looks off, the agents dig deeper. They gather evidence, contact suppliers about incorrect invoices, request credit notes, or prepare corrections for human approval.
Jakob Nielsen, Nermina Suljevic, and Sebastian Rehnby launched the company after seeing how much manual verification still dominates financial controls. Their pitch: companies spend millions on systems to record transactions, yet verification of those transactions remains stubbornly manual. Plinto automates that gap.
Early results show promise. Paying customers and pilot projects now operate across logistics, real estate, facility services, and food production. In one customer’s business unit, Plinto’s agents flagged roughly 430 discrepancies per month. Another deployment caught a duplicate invoice submitted under a different supplier name, preventing a second payment before it got created.
Suljevic, the CEO, points to low-margin industries where even small errors compound quickly. Most get discovered only after money leaves the account. Plinto’s aim shifts that timeline earlier, catching problems while correction remains cheap.
The fresh capital will accelerate product development, deepen enterprise adoption, and push Plinto beyond Denmark into its first international markets.
