Agave (YC W22) — AI financial operations for construction
We're building the financial ops platform for construction, a $12T global industry run by software built 20-40 years ago, much of it on-prem with no APIs and no documentation. We spent 3 years building the rails to read and write across those systems, and we use them to deploy AI for invoicing, expenses, compliance, billing, and more.
Agave is a Y Combinator company in the Winter 2022 batch. Its directory entry describes it as: AI Financial Operations for Construction. The founders listed are Tom Reno (Founder), Pooria Azimi (Founder), John Zucchi (Founder) (Y Combinator directory entry, January 18, 2022).

Example from a real report (our sample on Target): “Target eliminated approximately 1,800 corporate positions, with around 1,000 employees receiving layoff notices and the remainder accounted for by eliminating open roles.” Source: NBC News

If you're behind Agave: acceptance into a YC batch is one of the few weeks a young company gets looked up by people who matter — investors, other founders, press.
