Pleasefix.ai is building Cursor for finance & strategy analysts: automating workflows across Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Chrome so analysts can focus on thinking, not document production.
Unlike web-based or modelling-only tools, our platform integrates directly into analysts' native tools, fully adapted to each firm’s templates and connected to internal & external data sources.
We are a team of 5 (2 founders + 3 AI engineers) backed by US & EU investors. Our engineering team is based in Brussels, while our go-to-market team operates from New York.
