Madrid's Talky Labs raises €1.5 million pre-seed for AI finance automation

The story so far, in brief; the legwork, and the full article, stay with the original outlet.

Talky Labs, a Madrid start-up applying AI to accounting and day-to-day corporate finance, has closed a €1.5 million pre-seed round, signed in September 2026. The venture funds HelloWorld, Silence VC and Motive Force took part, along with angels including Remitly CEO Sebastián Gunningham, Lightbase CEO and former Seedtag technology chief Paul Golbaum, and Javier Morenés.

The software learns from a company's accounting history and from its finance staff, absorbing their judgement each time it asks an accountant how to handle an awkward case. It then records the result in the ERP along with the reasoning behind it. The premise is that much of corporate accounting lives in people's heads rather than in any system: "Every company has its own way of doing accounting, and it is almost never written down," said Jorge Beamonte, the CEO. By the company's own figures, Talky books between 86% and 93% of the documents it handles without a human touching them, and has so far processed more than 1.8 million documents covering over €2 billion of client spending.

Beamonte, 25, founded the company in 2025 with Maximilian Letón, 23, who runs operations. The team of nine will spend the money on the product and its technical infrastructure, on existing clients and on international expansion.
