Rillet just raised $100M in 48 hours. Your ERP vendor is the target.

Rillet raised $100M at a $1B valuation in 48 hours. They weren't even trying to raise.

ICONIQ led. Sequoia and a16z followed. Third round in 14 months. Total funding past $200M.

Here's what matters: 600 customers. ARR doubled last quarter. AI agent usage growing 70% monthly.

Where are they coming from?
50% from Intuit.
30% from NetSuite and Sage Intacct.
20% from Oracle, SAP, Workday, and Microsoft.

These aren't pilots. CFOs are ripping out legacy ERP and replacing it with an AI-native platform that closes books continuously, not monthly.

The accountant shortage is the accelerant. 61% of finance leaders struggled to hire CPA talent last year. The pipeline is shrinking. Rillet's agents do the work humans can't be found to do.

If your finance team runs on Oracle Fusion or NetSuite, your vendor just lost pricing power. Every customer Rillet wins is a customer your ERP provider loses permanently.

Audit your finance stack. Understand your contract lock-in. The replacement cycle for enterprise ERP used to be 7-10 years. AI collapsed it to 18 months. Your next budget cycle is the decision point.
