Before @santinestea started @dualentry, he built his previous company to $100M in revenue across 20 countries.
Now, he's trying to solve the very problem that held his business hostage.
Santiago had prior issues reporting numbers during a nine-month Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) legacy migration. He knew there could be a better, easier way to migrate, so he started building DualEntry.
This week, Santiago joined Lightwork to recap the moment next-gen ERPs became technically buildable, their fundraising story, and the latest results from DualEntry's "Project Helios".

Congratulations to @iamtimdavis, @clattner_llvm, and the entire @Modular team on this next chapter with @Qualcomm.
The team built with a clear conviction from day one: AI needs a more open and efficient software foundation. We're proud to have supported them from the beginning.

Today, Modular announced an agreement to be acquired by @Qualcomm.
We founded Modular to build a unified compute platform for the world, and unlock a more open, efficient, and hardware-independent future for AI. With Qualcomm, we can bring that vision to more developers, enterprises, and hardware platforms— faster.

IN NEWS: @DualEntry raises a $90M Series A
@santinestea (co-founder) says accountants want to be forward-looking advisors to the CEO, not bogged down in repetitive tasks.
DualEntry automates the busywork to unlock that shift.

Thrilled for @dualentry to emerge from stealth with a $90M Series A! ERP is one of the biggest software categories out there, and we've long searched for a team with the ambition, speed and clarity of vision required to win in this space. Thanks for having us on this journey!
@dualentry has raised a $90M Series A from @lightspeedvp, @khoslaventures and @GVteam, bringing our total funding to $100M to date.
18 months ago, we decided to build the ERP that makes sense for today.
AI already changed Sales, Engineering, and Legal. With DualEntry, CFOs finally have the modern ERP they deserve.
In the last 18 months we’ve:
- shipped 350+ features
- processed $100B+ worth of journal entries with AI
- saved businesses 1000s of hours on implementation
- onboarded 1000s of users across all continents
- built the world’s most powerful migration engine for a 24-hour ERP implementation
Our customers range from high-growth startups to NYSE-listed companies. They close the same day, report in real time, and achieve more with leaner teams. Since switching to DualEntry, one of our customers can run $140M ARR with just 1 controller.
Excited to keep building the ERP for the AI age 🚀
Retweet + comment “free migration” and I’ll send over all you need to go live in 24 hours with NextDay Migration.

🚀 Introducing Gram by Speakeasy 🚀
APIs were designed for humans, not LLMs. API Teams today are stuck hand rolling MCP servers, writing glue code, struggling with tool reliability. Meanwhile the demand from their users is growing. Building agentic workflows is a priority for every business.
That’s why we built Gram.
Gram turns your APIs into secure, composable, production-ready AI tools—instantly accessible to agents. Create, Curate and Host tools to power the next generation of API integrations.
What can Gram do for you 👇

Congrats @typefaceai!
Today, we are honored that @TIME has recognized @typefaceai Arc as a Best Invention in 2024. It’s an incredible testament of our mission and impact the amazing @typefaceai team is driving for customers across the globe.
When we founded Typeface, the invention of the printing press and its impact on storytelling & creativity, was our inspiration. It was an early example of personalization, democratizing the way people communicated and shared ideas.
We believed the coming AI wave had the power to again transform how people and brands tell their stories. We launched @typefaceai to reimagine the entire content lifecycle. Powered by Typeface Hub, our intelligent multi-modal content hub, we soon expanded this vision to introduce our AI-first campaign workflow, Typeface Arc.
AI's true potential is going beyond prompts and building one piece of content at a time, to complete campaign storytelling tailored to specific audiences. Only then can we truly unlock the potential to create amazing multi-channel marketing campaigns and customer journeys for brands around the world.
Looking ahead, our hope is to enable new storytelling superpowers for marketers. AI will empower everyone to tap into the imaginative space to be more creative, build the next wave of iconic campaigns and deliver on a massive global scale – all at the speed of thought.
