venture capital
Cresco advised pleasefix.ai on its $2.1M pre-seed financing, led by Pitchdrive, with participation from Syndicate One, Entrepreneurs First, Transpose Platform, 100IN, and a group of experienced angel investors from the finance and strategy ecosystem.
Founded in 2025, pleasefix.ai is a Belgian-American startup building the execution layer for finance and strategy teams. The platform allows professionals to describe tasks in natural language, while pleasefix.ai executes them directly inside existing tools such as Excel and PowerPoint, eliminating repetitive manual work and reducing operational risk.
The engineering team is growing in Brussels, at WAT, the new tech hub founded by Thibaud Elziere, while commercial expansion in the US is accelerating, with plans to build a strong presence in New York.
The funding will support the expansion of product capabilities, the growth of the engineering team in Brussels, and accelerated commercial expansion across Europe and the United States. 🚀
By embedding AI-driven execution directly into the tools finance teams already use, pleasefix.ai aims to become a trusted execution and decision partner for finance and strategy teams operating at global scale.
Congratulations to founders Séverine Nolf and Maxime Lahy, and to all investors involved, for the trust and collaboration. 👏
The Cresco deal team consisted of Olivier Van Raemdonck and Charles Groffils.
