Multiplier, founded by ex-Stripe exec, nabs $27.5M to fuel AI-powered accounting roll-ups


Multiplier raised Series A and seed funding from Lightspeed and Ribbit Capital.

In late 2022, Noah Pepper, a former Stripe business lead for the Asia Pacific region, founded Multiplier, a startup that aimed to sell software to tax accounts. So, Pepper decided that instead of building software for accounting firms, Multiplier would acquire existing professional service businesses and outfit them with its AI solution. The PE-style roll-up strategy has recently gained popularity among VCs, with investors such as General Catalyst, Elad Gil, Thrive, and Khosla Ventures backing startups that develop AI solutions and integrate them into existing people-focused companies.
