About Crunched
Summary
Crunched builds an AI analyst embedded directly in Excel for finance and consulting professionals in consulting, investment banking, and private equity. It audits entire workbooks for errors, constructs financial models from scratch, and pulls structured data from information memoranda into template models, replacing the manual grunt work that junior analysts and senior practitioners spend hours on. The product operates inside Excel so teams review and revise output through their existing workflow.
Go-to-market
Crunched targets high-intensity Excel users in advisory and audit firms, initially winning customers across Europe before expanding into the US market.

Excel AI analyst for Power Users
Crunched is the Excel AI analyst for power users - in consulting, investment banking, and private equity. It error-checks workbooks end-to-end, builds models from scratch, and handles grunt work like extracting and linking data from IMs to template models - all within Excel so teams can review and iterate as usual. Agents struggle with tabular data - getting reliable, multi-step execution over thousands of interlinked formulas, sheets, and ranges is hard. Making Crunched good enough for people who live in Excel means knowing the pain points deeply. Michael and Philip has 10,000+ hours in Excel across consulting and finance. Markus and Lars bring deep expertise in scaling AI and enterprise solutions. We've had easy access to first customers and are already live with firms across six European countries - we now plan to expand into the US. With >1bn total Excel users, we focus on the top 2%, highest-value Excel users globally. We're solving one pain point at a time to create a product that doesn't just look good in a demo but actually works in production. Excel is here to stay, but the way experts model is fundamentally changing - with Crunched.
