Motley raises $1.5M to build the world’s first AI business reporting platform

06.11.2025

Business reporting is a vital yet resource-intensive function consuming billions of labor hours across organizations. While regulatory compliance makes it mandatory in many industries, it is also essential for strategic decision-making.

This is why we are excited to partner with Motley as they build the first AI-driven reporting assistant that sources data automatically, generates report-ready presentations, and surfaces relevant business context proactively. 

Founded by Egor Kraev (former Head of AI at Wise), Artemy Belousov (engineer at Yandex), and Yann Ranchere (ex-CFO and Partner at Anthemis), the Motley team has seen firsthand how traditional reporting consumes valuable time from key decision-makers and hinders fast execution.

The Zurich-based company’s platform enables Customer Success and business teams to cut report preparation from weeks to hours, freeing them to focus on customer value and growth.

Yann highlighted:

“At Motley, we believe reporting should empower strategic discussions, not dilute those. Today’s business teams spend billions of hours pulling data and preparing documents. Motley is here to turn that into a process measured in minutes, freeing companies to focus on impact.” 

Motley integrates directly with customer systems to source information, draft report-ready documents, and surface context proactively. Teams using Motley are empowered to focus on refining the business reports instead of writing them from scratch. 

Motley’s initial design partners and customers include companies such as Gigs, Evalart and Impact Pilot.

Daniel Grant Smith, Head of Customer Success, Gigs.

“At Gigs, we believe using data and AI intelligently and efficiently is crucial to deliver clear value and insight to our partners. With Motley we can explore how AI can further streamline reporting, transforming time-intensive tasks like QBRs into opportunities for deeper insight and strategic focus.” 

On why we partnered with Motley, our Partner Sia Houchangnia, comments: 

Business reporting is one of the last manual frontiers in enterprise workflows — and one that every company feels. Motley has the rare combination of deep technical insight and sharp market focus. We’re excited to back Yann, Egor, Artemy, and the team as they build a new category of reporting automation.” 

We are excited to lead Motley’s 1.5 million pre-seed round, with additional support from Tiny VC, Kima Ventures, RTP Global, Founders AS, and angel investors.

The funding will accelerate Motley’s product development, expand integrations, and scale go-to-market with early design partners and customers.
