AI financial modeling startup Meridian has emerged from stealth with $17 million in seed funding at a $100 million post-money valuation, aiming to modernize spreadsheet-driven analysis using agentic AI. The round was led by Andreessen Horowitz and The General Partnership, with participation from QED Investors, FPV Ventures, and Litquidity Ventures.
Founded by CEO and co-founder John Ling, the New York-based company is building an IDE-style workspace for financial modeling that integrates external data sources and improves auditability and predictability in AI-generated spreadsheets. Meridian reported signing $5 million in contracts in December and is working with teams at Decagon and OffDeal.
The team includes alumni from Scale AI, Anthropic, and Goldman Sachs, focusing on reducing uncertainty in AI-driven financial analysis while maintaining flexibility for enterprise workflows.
