Brightsill
Brightsill forecasts revenue for companies that bill on usage, where a spreadsheet built for subscriptions quietly stops working.
Why we investedFintech / Seed 2021
What we saw in Brightsill.
Usage-based pricing spread faster than the finance tooling around it. Boards still want a forecast, and the CFO is left reconciling metering data by hand.
Dana was a CFO who built the model herself, then discovered every peer had built a worse version of the same thing.
The company grew slowly for two years and then compounded. That shape is common in finance software and we plan for it.
