Two Brothers, 20 & 24, Raise $4.1M to Automate Audits

Denki just closed seed funding led by Base10 & Shine Capital. Public companies spend $290B+ annually on compliance audits—mostly manual work in Excel.

Denki replaces that with AI-driven workflows that run like code. Already selling to pre-IPO and public companies.

How they got here:
- David: built financial data pipelines at Macro Hive
- Felipe: PhD in explainable AI at UCL
- Both spotted audit as technically rich, high-stakes problem with zero modernization
- Rejected $135K pre-seed to find the right problem first

Key insight: solve problems you've already touched. They didn't invent auditing—they applied what they knew.
