Blue Onion, a YC-backed, women-led fintech startup, is quietly building the financial data infrastructure that CFOs will rely on to power the next generation of AI in finance.

Blue Onion is the data backbone for tomorrow’s AI-powered finance teams — a subledger platform that transforms messy, scattered transactions into clean, reconciled, and automation-ready data.

About Blue Onion
Blue Onion disrupts the status quo of processing financial data for leading consumer brands. The Blue Onion subledger enables companies like Supergoop!, BarkBox, and a.k.a. brands to close their books daily–not monthly–with guaranteed accuracy. Blue Onion is the only platform that leverages powerful AI to automate the reconciliation process from each transaction all the way to the bank. The Blue Onion subledger validates data from the source, providing a foundation of financial truth to make smarter business decisions–faster.

Founded in 2020, Blue Onion is led by co-founder and CEO Lyndsey Bunting, former VP of Finance at Birchbox who experienced the pain of manual reconciliation processes and inaccurate financial data throughout her career. Blue Onion is backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Joe Saunders, former Chairman and CEO of Visa, and Viola FinTech.
