Aryo + Tinah only talked to 3 firms during the Series A, all 3 offered them a term sheet.

They're almost always the smartest people in any room, work harder than everyone, & always do what they say will.

They told me Andera will be a $30b ARR co in 10 years, I believe them.

[Kevin Hartz @kevinhartz]

We met @AryoPatel and @tinahhong when Andera was two months old. They’d already spoken with 150+ auditors and were obsessed with rebuilding a category most people overlook. Two weeks later, we led their seed.

We’re excited to double down in their $37M Series A led by Lightspeed.

Andera is bringing the advances we’ve seen with coding agents to auditors, taking on the repetitive work so people can focus on judgment. More on our partnership here: https://t.co/abbau7t5Zy

anytime we're @hardlaunching a company & out-of-home is on the table, i ALWAYS push for it

a company should occupy a physical space that isn't the office everyone's 996-ing in, even if just for a short time

congrats to @tinahhong, @AryoPatel & the wonderful Andera team on the Hard Launch! and check out the nasdaq screen @osmo_studio team & i cooked up!

[Josh Payne @joshpxyne]

Congrats Tinah and team!!

[Andera @andera_ai]

Today, we’re announcing Andera’s $37M Series A led by @lightspeedvp, with participation from @BainCapVC, @pearvc, and @A_StarVC to build the future of AI auditing.

Andera builds agents that automate the manual audit work of our Fortune 10 clients and leaders in audit, turning weeks of testing into minutes.

As the world has gotten more digitized, auditors’ tools haven’t kept up.

We’re bringing together best-in-class auditors and engineers to solve the hard problem underneath that: reasoning over messy evidence the way an experienced auditor would. Thank you to our investors for believing in us, and to our clients for trusting us to do the work right.

[adi @adiprasadd]

These past few months have been some of the most fun and highest-slope periods of my life. In January, we were crammed into Aryo’s apartment working with cardboard-boxes as makeshift desks. Today, we’re nearly 15 people in-person and growing.

@AryoPatel and @tinahhong have become incredible mentors and close friends, and I’m grateful to share this moment with them alongside the rest of the team.

[Ivory Tang @ivory_tang]

So proud of @tinahhong and @AryoPatel! Congrats!

[Boyd Christiansen @_boyd_]

What a cool look back on your time at Andera. Thanks for sharing adi!

[adi @adiprasadd]

Earlier this year, I took a leap and decided that mentorship trumped almost anything else at this stage of my career. I faced a choice between joining a few more established companies or taking a chance on the people who had already guided me through so many of those processes.

Today, we’re announcing @andera_ai’s $37M Series A, led by @lightspeedvp with participation from @BainCapVC, @A_StarVC and @pearvc.

It’s difficult to put into words what being part of this journey has meant to me, or the impact @AryoPatel and @tinahhong have had on my career, but this is my best attempt.

Give it a read :) https://t.co/uqzxXGAexS

Congrats!! @tinahhong and @AryoPatel !

[Bucky Moore @buckymoore]

Every year, audit teams at public companies spend thousands of hours testing controls and producing work papers. This manual process has been conducted the same way for over 20 years, and costs public companies millions of $ annually.

Audit resisted automation for decades because it's a reasoning problem, not a rules problem. Long context reasoning models and agentic tool use have recently changed the calculus.

We are thrilled to announce @lightspeedvp has led a $37M Series A in @andera_ai, the AI audit platform that is already turning weeks of testing into minutes for Fortune 10 clients.

Audit's AI moment has arrived, and @lightspeedvp is proud to be working with @AryoPatel @tinahhong and team to pull this massive industry into the future.

The raise is the headline. My news: I've joined Andera as Chief of Staff.

A year watching @AryoPatel and @tinahhong build convinced me this team is rare. We're automating control testing for auditors with AI.

We're hiring. Want in?

[tinah @tinahhong]

Tech has decided that regulation is the enemy of progress, but innovation requires capital

Regulation builds the trust necessary to inject billions into markets

To enable free innovation, Andera raised a $37M series A led by Lightspeed to scale financial oversight with agents
