Futureproof Secures Investment from Founder Capital and Triangle Tweener Fund to Enhance AI-Driven Financial Solutions
RALEIGH, N.C., Dec. 2, 2025 — Futureproof, an innovative platform leveraging artificial intelligence for financial intelligence, has successfully secured strategic funding from Founder Capital, an investment branch of the renowned Founder Institute, and Triangle Tweener Fund, led by entrepreneur Scot Wingo. This investment marks a pivotal endorsement of Futureproof’s objective to revolutionize startup finances through advanced automation and real-time insights.
Startups often rely on traditional tools like QuickBooks and spreadsheets, which can lead to confusion rather than clarity. Futureproof aims to transform this process with its AI-enhanced general ledger, offering real-time financial visibility that integrates banking, payroll, and revenue platforms into a cohesive dashboard. This system enables founders to promptly answer critical questions about cash flow and hiring without the previous uncertainty of manual methods.
According to Oz Merchant, CEO and Founder of Futureproof, “This partnership with Founder Capital and Triangle Tweener Fund validates our vision to provide accessible CFO-level financial clarity to every founder.” With insights honed from years of scaling B2B SaaS companies, Merchant emphasizes the necessity of precise financial management for startups at all stages.
As part of this collaboration, Futureproof will be integrated into the Founder Institute’s global network, connecting them to countless early-stage founders in over 200 cities. “We’re excited to back Futureproof in addressing the universal challenge of securing expert financial intelligence for startups before they can afford a CFO,” said Ryan Micheletti, Partner at Founder Capital.
Futureproof’s platform distinguishes itself through features like AI-driven transaction categorization, customizable dashboards, and scenario-based forecasting, equipping founders to handle due diligence and investor inquiries effectively. Users like Lauren Goodell, CEO of Zinnia, have noted a dramatic improvement in financial oversight since transitioning to Futureproof, likening their experience to having a virtual CFO providing essential insights.
Looking ahead, Futureproof plans to further enhance its offerings by expanding AI-powered insights into departmental expenses, improving planning tools for strategic decision-making, and simplifying reporting processes for funding opportunities. Merchant states, “We’re dedicated to creating the comprehensive financial command center that every founder needs.”
