99% of Ramp uses ai daily. but we noticed most people were stuck — not because the models weren't good enough, but because the setup was too painful and unintuitive for most. terminal configs, mcp servers, everyone figuring it out alone. so we built Glass. every employee gets a fully configured ai workspace on day one — integrations connected via sso, a marketplace of 350+ reusable skills built by colleagues, persistent memory, scheduled automations. when one person on a team figures out a better workflow, everyone on that team gets it and gets more productive. the companies that make every employee effective with ai will compound advantages their competitors can't match. most are waiting for vendors to solve this. we decided to own it.






The accounting services industry has historically been 1) underserved by technology and 2) constrained by capacity, not demand. Founders @Arushj01, @PranavAPillai, and @vinaykasat_ saw this as an opportunity. They brought together their backgrounds in private equity M&A, forward-deployed software engineering, and growth operations. In doing so, they created @ModusAudit to partner with auditors ready for the next generation of firms that have the right to grow. Through co-creating and tightly iterating on powerful, scalable workflows with frontline auditors, Modus freed up tens of thousands of hours in their first platform partner that they have already sold into. The co-founders joined @jmover and @AmishDesaiX this week on The Investment Memo, where they go into more detail about our partnership, their vision for innovating in the industry, and how their past career experiences prepared them for this journey. 0:00 Welcome, Arush Jain, Vinay Kasat, & Pranav Pillai! 2:40 Why Audit Is a Massive Opportunity 3:17 The Core Problem Auditors Face Today 4:10 The “Audit in 2 Weeks” Vision 5:04 Proving the Model Works Without an Audit Background 5:53 Why Audit Software Has Failed Before 6:25 Reinventing Audits from the Ground Up 7:25 Inside 7 AI Workflows & 40% Time Savings 9:03 Palantir’s Influence on Their Strategy 10:00 Embedding Engineers Inside Audit Firms 11:12 Turning Time Savings into Growth 12:25 Improving Audit Quality with AI 14:01 Where Audit Errors Actually Happen 16:24 The First Acquisition Journey 17:50 Early Results: Growth & Efficiency Gains 19:05 The “This Works” Moment 20:18 From Friends to Co-Founders 22:34 Hiring in the Age of AI 24:08 Advisors Behind Modus 25:41 Choosing the Right Investors 26:55 The Future of AI in Audit 28:03 What Excites the Founders Most 28:48 Advice for Founders
