Two Brothers, 20 & 24, Raise $4.1M to Automate Audits Denki just closed seed funding led by Base10 & Shine Capital. Public companies spend $290B+ annually on compliance audits—mostly manual work in Excel. Denki replaces that with AI-driven workflows that run like code. Already selling to pre-IPO and public companies. How they got here: - David: built financial data pipelines at Macro Hive - Felipe: PhD in explainable AI at UCL - Both spotted audit as technically rich, high-stakes problem with zero modernization - Rejected $135K pre-seed to find the right problem first Key insight: solve problems you've already touched. They didn't invent auditing—they applied what they knew. Brewed by Startup Beaker. #Fintech#AI
