Jonathan Sanders, Co-founder & CEO at Light | Slush 2025
summary
Light builds an end-to-end accounting platform that removes manual data entry by ingesting CRM, bank and HR feeds and turning receipts into filed VAT and reconciled books via a Slack interface. It claims early AI integration pre-ChatGPT, integrates with Citi and JP Morgan and HR systems like HiBob and Rippling, uses natural language to generate finance reports, autonomous agents that execute end-to-end tasks, and a self-healing no‑code engine that measures inbox‑to‑paid times and suggests configuration changes.
