No-code FP&A platform connecting Google Sheets and Excel to a centralized data layer for fast, flexible planning. New York NY, raised $50M+.
Cube is a financial planning and analysis platform designed to give finance teams a fast path to connected, centralized FP&A without requiring them to replace their existing spreadsheet workflows. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York City, Cube has raised more than $50 million from investors including Battery Ventures. The company targets the gap between manual, disconnected spreadsheet FP&A and the complexity and cost of traditional CPM platforms, offering a no-code data layer that syncs with Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel and replaces error-prone manual data consolidation without forcing finance teams into a new interface.\n\nCube's core product connects to source systems including ERPs, CRMs, and HR platforms and centralizes the data in a structured warehouse that is directly accessible from the spreadsheet tools finance teams already use. Users can push data from source systems into their Google Sheets or Excel models with a single click, eliminating the manual VLOOKUP-and-paste workflows that create version control nightmares in growing finance teams. Cube also provides a native web interface for dashboards and reports for users who want to share insights beyond the spreadsheet environment.\n\nCube's positioning as a fast-to-implement, accessible FP&A solution appeals particularly to Series A through Series C startups and mid-market companies whose finance teams have outgrown pure spreadsheets but are not ready for the six-to-twelve-month implementations that larger CPM platforms typically require. The company competes with Mosaic Tech, Runway Financial, and other modern FP&A tools in this emerging segment, as well as with the lower tiers of Planful and Vena, and continues to expand its connectivity library and planning templates.
Indoor vertical farming company using AI-optimized growing systems. San Francisco, CA. Raised $940M+ including $400M from SoftBank. Partners with Walmart for US farms.
Plenty is a San Francisco-based indoor vertical farming company that uses AI, machine learning, and robotics to grow leafy greens and other produce in controlled indoor environments. The company has raised over $940 million from investors including SoftBank Vision Fund, which invested $200 million in 2017, and has positioned itself as the technology leader in data-driven indoor agriculture.\n\nPlenty's farms use precisely controlled light, temperature, humidity, and nutrient conditions to grow crops that are free from pesticides, use 99% less land, and consume significantly less water than conventional field agriculture. The company's AI systems continuously optimize growing conditions based on sensor data, learning to improve yields and quality across crops and growing cycles.\n\nIn 2022, Plenty announced a landmark partnership with Walmart to supply leafy greens from a new large-scale facility in Compton, California. This partnership provided both a major commercial anchor and significant additional funding from Walmart, validating Plenty's technology and business model at scale. The company also operates a dedicated strawberry R&D partnership with Driscoll's, the world's largest berry company, demonstrating the platform's potential beyond leafy greens.
