Hyper-growth finance teams lose over $150k annually in lost productivity and operational friction due to broken spreadsheet models and unverified financial data.

Vana seamlessly maps legacy spreadsheets into enterprise Postgres schemas with automated double-entry ledger verification. By syncing directly with Stripe, NetSuite, and QuickBooks, Vana converts unstructured row-and-column inputs into real-time immutable financial records. Finance directors gain total data integrity, instant board-deck visibility, and automated SOC2 audit trails without writing code.

Our vision is to build the modern transactional database infrastructure powering every high-velocity finance department.

Problem
  • When I manage financial models across multiple entities, I want to sync real-time ledger data, but broken spreadsheet formulas cause $50k in quarterly reconciliation errors
  • Why Now: SEC audits and venture investors are enforcing strict SOC2 and double-entry transactional accuracy for Series B+ startups
  • When I present board updates, I want instant verified cash runway metrics, but manual data extraction consumes 20 hours per month
  • When I calculate complex RevOps commission tiers, I want single-source-of-truth accuracy, but unauthorized spreadsheet edits lead to overpayments
  • Existing Alternatives: Fragile Google Sheets models, static Excel workbooks, expensive custom SQL engineering pipelines, and generic BI tools
