Kick is building the AI-native accounting firm of the future, automating bookkeeping for small businesses and accounting firms with AI agents. Small business bookkeeping is a chore most owners dread: categorizing transactions, reconciling accounts, and keeping books current eat time that owners would rather spend running their businesses. Kick's platform automates the 'boring stuff,' using AI to handle the repetitive mechanics of bookkeeping with minimal manual effort.
The product is designed to be AI-native rather than a legacy tool with AI bolted on. Kick's agents categorize transactions, reconcile accounts, and maintain accurate books automatically, surfacing only what needs human attention. The company's ambition extends beyond a software tool toward building 'the accounting firm of the future,' where AI does the bulk of the work that human bookkeepers and firms perform today.
Kick was founded by Conrad Wadowski, who brings notable entrepreneurial credibility from co-founding Teachable, the online education platform that sold for $250 million. That track record, plus a deeply connected angel roster, has helped Kick attract attention from top-tier fintech and AI operators.
Kick raised a $9 million seed round in October 2024, backed by General Catalyst and the OpenAI Startup Fund, with a notable list of operator-angels including Lachy Groom, Eric Glyman and Karim Atiyeh (founders of Ramp), Sahil Lavingia (Gumroad), Scott Belsky (Adobe), and many others. In November 2025, Kick announced a Series A led by Felicis and GV (Google Ventures), with continued support from General Catalyst and the OpenAI Startup Fund. Total funding has reached $20 million.
The backing of the OpenAI Startup Fund and a who's-who of fintech founders positions Kick as a closely watched bet on fully AI-native bookkeeping, in a category where automating the small-business back office represents a large and underserved market.
