Meridian (MERI) Secures $17M Seed Funding to Revolutionize Agentic Financial Modeling

Meridian, a stealth agentic financial modeling platform, raised $17 million in seed funding on February 11, 2026, valued at $100 million post-money. The round, led by Andressen Horowitz and the General Partnership, with participation from QED Investors, FPV Ventures, and Litquidity Ventures, aims to deliver a deterministic, auditable IDE-based alternative to traditional Excel modeling. Meridian differentiates by operating as a standalone workspace, integrating external data sources and references to reduce friction. The company signed $5 million in contracts in December 2025 and is working with teams at Decagon and OffDeal. It emphasizes deterministic, traceable outputs to meet strict financial client requirements, reducing hallucinations and improving reliability. The platform is based in New York, with engineering and domain expertise drawn from Scale AI, Anthropic, and Goldman Sachs.
