Jupid Tax Raises $840,000 Pre-Seed Funding to Build AI-Powered Accounting Platform for Small Businesses
Jupid Tax, an AI-native accounting and tax platform for small businesses and entrepreneurs, has raised $840,000 in pre-seed funding to expand its artificial intelligence capabilities, deepen financial data integrations, and automate more back-office financial operations. The round was led by Pre-Seed to Succeed, with participation from Michigan State University Research Foundation. Additional support came from the investors behind Pre-Seed to Succeed, including AltaIR Capital, Yellow Rocks, Smart Partnership Capital, and I2BF Global Ventures.
Founded to simplify financial management for entrepreneurs, Jupid is building an artificial intelligence platform designed to handle business formation, bookkeeping, tax preparation, and compliance tasks. The company aims to make professional financial services more accessible for small businesses by replacing complicated software workflows and expensive accounting processes with AI-powered automation.
Pre-Seed to Succeed led Jupid’s $840,000 pre-seed financing round. The investment initiative focuses on helping early-stage founders build technology companies, particularly in areas such as artificial intelligence, fintech, and business software. The firm was created through a collaboration involving AltaIR Capital, Yellow Rocks, Smart Partnership Capital, and I2BF Global Ventures.
Michigan State University Research Foundation also participated in the financing. The foundation supports innovation and entrepreneurship by investing in emerging companies connected to research, technology development, and commercialization opportunities. Its participation adds institutional support as Jupid continues building its AI-driven accounting platform.
Jupid’s platform is designed for U.S. entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small business owners who need accounting and tax support but may not have access to traditional accounting resources. The company provides AI-powered bookkeeping, transaction categorization, business setup assistance, and tax filing support through a digital platform.
The company’s technology focuses on automating repetitive financial tasks that often require significant time from business owners. Jupid connects financial information from sources such as bank accounts and business platforms, analyzes transactions, categorizes expenses, and helps prepare financial information for tax reporting.
Jupid is also developing an embedded finance approach, allowing its AI accounting technology to be integrated directly into banking and fintech platforms. The company’s goal is to make accounting and tax services available where entrepreneurs already manage their financial activities rather than requiring users to adopt separate software systems.
The funding comes as artificial intelligence continues transforming financial services. Small businesses often face challenges managing bookkeeping, tax compliance, and financial planning due to limited resources and the high cost of professional services. AI-powered platforms like Jupid are emerging to provide automated support and help business owners manage finances more efficiently.
Jupid was founded by Slava Akulov, Anna Khalzova, Sergey Petrov, and Ilya Lisin. The founding team combines experience across artificial intelligence, fintech, and financial technology development. The company’s mission is to create AI agents capable of handling financial administration tasks while allowing entrepreneurs to focus on growing their businesses.
The company has positioned itself as an AI accountant designed to work continuously in the background. Rather than requiring users to manually maintain spreadsheets or manage multiple accounting tools, Jupid aims to provide automated financial organization and insights through conversational AI experiences.
Following the funding round, Jupid plans to expand its AI capabilities, improve integrations with financial data sources, and further automate business accounting workflows. The company is also expanding partnerships that allow its technology to reach entrepreneurs through existing financial platforms.
Jupid has already begun expanding its presence through integrations with financial technology providers. The company has announced that its AI accounting technology is embedded into digital banking platforms and is working to bring automated bookkeeping and tax services closer to small business owners.
The investment reflects growing interest in AI applications that address practical business challenges. While many AI companies focus on general productivity tools, Jupid is targeting a specific operational need by applying artificial intelligence to accounting, tax preparation, and financial administration.
With backing from Pre-Seed to Succeed, Michigan State University Research Foundation, AltaIR Capital, Yellow Rocks, Smart Partnership Capital, and I2BF Global Ventures, Jupid Tax plans to continue developing its AI-powered accounting infrastructure and expand access to automated financial services for entrepreneurs and small businesses across the United States.
