FP&A platform built on native Excel leveraging familiar spreadsheets with enterprise control and workflow. Toronto ON, raised $300M+.
Vena Solutions is a financial planning and analysis platform that takes a distinctive approach in the CPM market by building its core user experience on top of Microsoft Excel rather than replacing it. Headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, Vena has raised more than $300 million from investors including JMI Equity and Vista Equity Partners. The company's thesis is that finance professionals are deeply comfortable in Excel and that the productivity and adoption barriers created by forcing them to learn new interfaces are a primary reason FP&A implementations fail — so Vena gives Excel a centralized database, workflow engine, and audit trail beneath the familiar spreadsheet surface.\n\nVena's platform connects Excel front-end models to a centralized SQL database with version control, approval workflows, and data governance capabilities that prevent the fragmentation and formula errors common in unmanaged spreadsheet environments. Finance teams build their planning models in Excel as they always have, while Vena manages the data centralization, user permissions, workflow routing, and audit history that make those models enterprise-grade. The platform supports budgeting, forecasting, financial close, reporting, and compensation planning, with pre-built template libraries that accelerate implementation.\n\nVena differentiates sharply from competitors like Planful, Anaplan, and Workday Adaptive Planning, which ask finance users to adopt new interfaces and leave Excel behind. This positioning resonates strongly with mid-market CFOs who have been burned by CPM implementations that stalled due to user adoption issues. Vena's Microsoft partnership and Excel-native architecture have also made it a natural extension of the Microsoft 365 ecosystem, with integrations into Power BI, Dynamics 365, and Azure that give it strength in Microsoft-centric IT environments.
Strategic finance platform with automated financial modeling, dashboards, and scenario planning for SaaS and tech CFOs. San Diego CA, raised $50M+.
Mosaic Tech is a strategic finance platform purpose-built for the CFO and finance teams at SaaS and technology companies. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in San Diego, California, Mosaic has raised more than $50 million from investors including Founders Fund. The company was built by finance professionals who experienced firsthand the limitations of spreadsheet FP&A at high-growth tech companies, and designed a platform that automates the financial modeling and reporting workflows that consume disproportionate time at technology startups and scale-ups.\n\nMosaic connects to the source systems that matter for SaaS finance — including Stripe, Salesforce, QuickBooks, NetSuite, and HR platforms — and automatically builds and maintains financial models, revenue dashboards, and metric libraries without requiring manual data pulls. The platform provides out-of-the-box SaaS metrics including ARR, MRR, churn, net revenue retention, CAC, and LTV, enabling finance teams to spend more time on analysis and decision support rather than data assembly. Scenario planning and forecasting tools allow CFOs and their teams to model the financial impact of strategic decisions in real time.\n\nMosaic targets the CFO and VP Finance at venture-backed companies from Series A through pre-IPO, a segment underserved by both the simplicity of tools like QuickBooks and the complexity and cost of enterprise CPM platforms. The company competes with Cube, Runway Financial, and the lower tiers of Planful in this space, as well as with Carta and other finance tools targeting startups. Its deep SaaS metrics focus and clean product design have built Mosaic a loyal following among technology CFOs.
