CentSight Raises $1.5M in Pre-Seed Funding Round

The company plans to use the funding to expand its operations and continue developing its products and technology.

CentSight is launching at a time when business owners are looking for practical AI tools that solve everyday business challenges. For many small and medium-sized businesses, financial decision-making is critical but often difficult due to delayed reports, spreadsheets, disconnected systems, and reliance on intuition.

CentSight helps business owners access important financial insights earlier, allowing them to make informed decisions about hiring, growth, pricing, and spending. Instead of reacting after financial results are finalized, owners can take action in time to influence outcomes.

CentSight connects directly to financial tools that businesses already use, including QuickBooks Online and bank accounts through Plaid. Business owners can quickly ask questions about cash flow, expenses, revenue, profitability, runway, margins, and other financial trends without relying on spreadsheets or waiting for month-end reports.

CentSight, an AI-powered financial intelligence platform for small and mid-sized businesses, has officially launched. The platform helps business owners understand their finances, ask questions in plain English, identify problems early, and gain clear financial insights without needing to hire a full-time or fractional CFO.

"Too many good businesses run blind, not because the owners aren't smart, but because the answers have always been locked behind a CFO they can't afford," said Gerald Hetrick, Founder and CEO of CentSight. "So, they stay stuck as they have plenty of data, but no real direction. We built CentSight to move owners from blind to clear to decisive, making them fluent in their own finances so they can act with confidence instead of crossing their fingers. The whole idea is to run your company on answers, not anxiety."

"CentSight is solving a problem that every operator understands immediately," said Sandy Schwartz, Managing Partner at Mudita Venture Partners. "Business owners do not need another spreadsheet or static dashboard. They need trusted, real time financial intelligence that helps them make better decisions faster. Gerald has lived this problem as a founder, operator, and advisor, and CentSight brings together the product vision, AI capability, and market timing needed to make CFO grade clarity accessible to a much larger group of businesses."
