The story

LedgerUp (legal entity Up Dog, Inc.) is a YC-backed AI agent platform founded 2023 in San Francisco. Its product 'Ari' sits on top of existing billing/ERP systems (Stripe, NetSuite, QuickBooks, Sage Intacct, Chargebee) and automates the messy work between them — contract ingestion, invoice generation, cash application, collections follow-up, and submission to enterprise AP portals like Coupa and Ariba. Positioning: not a Stripe/NetSuite replacement, but the AI reconciliation and exception-handling layer around them.
