Futureproof is bringing early-stage founders a finance ERP that creates its own ledger from bank and payment data rather than sitting above QuickBooks. Created by Raleigh entrepreneur Oz Merchant, it is aimed at SaaS and e-commerce startups that need a clearer view of cash flow, runway and reporting.
Six AI agents divide the finance work, with one keeping the books current and another modeling forecasts and runway, while the platform also manages cap tables and investor data rooms. The SaaS version arrived in fall 2026, and the e-commerce version has now rolled out, with non-dilutive funding access added through partner connections.
A ledger built from source financial data turns Futureproof into more than an accounting overlay, which matters when founders are making hiring or fundraising calls. Built for SaaS and e-commerce startups, it widens what startup finance software covers by combining books, planning and capital access.
