Madrid's Talky Labs raises €1.5 million pre-seed round for AI accounting software

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

Talky Labs, a Madrid start-up founded in 2025, has raised €1.5 million in a pre-seed round that closed in September 2026. The venture firms HelloWorld, Silence VC, Motive Force and Aera Capital invested, along with angel investors including Remitly chief executive Sebastián Gunningham, Lightbase chief executive and former Seedtag CTO Paul Golbaum, and Javier Morenés. The founders are Jorge Beamonte, 25, the CEO, and Maximilian Letón, 23, who runs operations.

The problem Talky goes after is that much of a company's accounting is not really in the accounting system. It sits in spreadsheets, emails, contracts and the memories of particular accountants, which works fine until an odd invoice turns up. "Every company has its own way of doing accounting, and it is almost never written down," Beamonte said. Talky's software studies a client's past bookkeeping to work out the rules nobody wrote down. It then reads invoices, proposes entries, checks tax details, reconciles bank transactions and posts the results to the client's ERP, keeping a record of why each decision was made. When it is unsure, it picks the right employee to ask, offers the likeliest answers and remembers the reply, so the same question need not come up twice. The company says it handles 86% to 93% of documents with no person involved, and that new clients are usually running within two to three weeks.

With a staff of nine, Talky says it has handled upward of 1.8 million documents, covering more than €2 billion of client spending. The money will go mainly to hiring, as well as product, technical infrastructure, work with existing clients and international expansion. Its priority customers are large outsourcing (BPO) firms, consultancies and enterprises with big finance teams.
