Copenhagen-based AI startup Plinto has raised €2.9 million in funding from People Ventures and Emblem. The company will use the money to improve its AI-powered platform for monitoring financial transactions, attract more business customers and begin expanding into international markets.

“Many of our customers work with low margins, so even small errors can quickly add up. The problem is that they’re often only discovered after the money has been paid. We want companies to catch and fix errors before they hit the bottom line, “said Nermina Suljevic, co-founder and CEO of Plinto.

Founded in early 2025 by Jakob Nielsen, Nermina Suljevic and Sebastian Rehnby, Plinto is an AI startup that helps businesses find and fix errors in financial transactions. Its technology aims to reduce manual work for finance teams and improve the accuracy of business payments.

Plinto uses AI agents to check financial transactions against company contracts, budgets and internal rules. This helps businesses identify mistakes and ensure that payments follow the agreed terms.

The platform connects with the software and tools companies already use, including enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, documents, banking platforms, Slack and Microsoft Teams. This allows Plinto to review financial information across different systems.

When the platform finds a problem, its AI agents investigate the issue and collect supporting information. They can also contact suppliers about incorrect invoices, request credit notes and prepare corrections for approval.

Plinto aims to help large businesses manage the challenges of handling thousands of financial transactions. Many finance teams rely on random checks or month-end reviews to find errors. As a result, incorrect charges and duplicate invoices can go unnoticed until payments have already been made. Plinto helps businesses identify these issues earlier and manage their finances more efficiently.
