Pretty great company to be in.
Thanks for including us in this year's Fintech 100 @CBInsights 🙌
The 9th annual CB Insights Fintech 100 is here.
Meet the startups most likely to shape the future of financial services.
Many of this year’s winners are building beneath the products customers see: compliance, data enrichment, tokenization, and cross-border payments.
We selected them based on deal activity, industry partnerships, team strength, investor strength, executive interviews, and proprietary metrics.
Together, these companies have raised $10.9B in equity funding and have disclosed 330+ partnerships since 2025.
These are the startups to watch if you’re investing, acquiring, partnering, or competing in financial services.

Global banks want AI agents running on their own terms: their own infrastructure, a vetted list of models and vendors, and change control on every release.
Here’s how Bretton Enterprise is built for that 🧵
3/ Model qualification on historical cases
Each deployment has an approved model list, restricted by region. New models are rerun on the bank’s past cases and judged against the current model’s run-to-run variation.

We're still buzzing from @money2020!
Between launching The Standard, putting our CEO and COO to work handing out magazines, and giving away 1oz of gold, it's safe to say we had a pretty eventful week.
Thanks to everyone who made it one to remember!
If you didn’t manage to get hold of The Standard, you can read it online or request a print copy here: bretton.com/thestandard
The moment Lorin Herman’s key opened the lockbox and won him 1oz of 24k Bretton gold 🎊
Big congrats! And thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet the team and try their luck at @money2020!
Until next year 👋
Introducing Agent Artifacts: Bretton agents now fill out your own documents. Word, PDF, CSV and Excel templates, completed on the case and ready for review. Multiple documents per agent, different ones per outcome. Live now in all Agents V2 workflows.
1/ Community bankers don’t get enough cover stories. So we made a magazine for them.
The Standard, our new quarterly print magazine, debuted at @money2020, and copies went fast in Vegas.
If you missed us, here’s what’s inside ↓
2/ Our first cover features Matt Michaelis, Chairman and CEO of @EmpriseBank.
Inside, former Acting Comptroller Michael Hsu shares his take on risk management in the age of agentic AI, and Paul Davis tells the story of how a bank board member became a bank buyer.. and lots more

Today, we’re announcing the new Bretton AI.
We began as trusted agents for financial crime compliance. Starting today, we run the financial back office, AI-natively.
Grow the bank, not the back office.

Introducing Bretton AI Horizon: the first agentic workspace for L2 financial crime escalations.
Your best investigators spend hours swiveling between 10+ systems to close a single case. Horizon changes that.
One workspace to:
- Pull records from any internal or external system
- Execute AI-powered research plans
- Draft SARs from your own templates
- Meet audit and QA standards on every investigation
Bretton AI now covers L1 to L2. End-to-end.

Congrats to @brettonai on their $75M Series B!

We just raised a $75M Series B to *finally* automate AML/KYC with AI agents.
KYC/AML software has been around for a long time. @brettonai is different:
- Autonomous browsing: agents hop between multiple tools to complete reviews without the need for a massive engineering lift for the bank
- Long Horizon Agents: our agents complete iterative, complex reviews that take humans hours to complete
- Bank-grade model risk management: built for regulators, internal audit and third-party reviews
It's why companies like Robinhood, Lead Bank and Gusto use us to scale efficiently and deliver great customer experiences.
Our Series B is led by @rajeevdham and @SapphireVC , with participation from Greylock, Y Combinator, Thomson Reuters Ventures, Canvas Ventures and TIAA Ventures.
3 years ago, this company was just a dream. Now I get to work with 40 of the smartest, hardest working poeple I’ve ever met to solve big problems at the heart of finance. I'm pumped for the future!
Now back to building.
