This is the best summary I could come up with:

As cloud-based software becomes the norm for many functions inside of modern businesses, data silos are growing into an outsize problem.

Aleph allows finance and operations teams to centralize their financial data from disparate systems, including enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management platforms, and bring it directly into their spreadsheets with permissioning and version control.

“After years of working as a startup CFO and consultant at Bain, I was growing increasingly frustrated with the tools available to finance professionals,” Gozzi told TechCrunch in an email interview.

At a high level, Aleph — which comes in cloud, web app and Excel and Google Sheets add-in flavors — makes software for financial planning and analysis.

“When you hit a certain point, you need a more robust tool that gives you instant access to your accounting data and helps you run your models quickly and more effectively,” Gozzi said.

Gozzi rattled off who he sees as principle rivals, including incumbents like Anaplan and Adaptive; “out-of-excel” software such as Mosaic, Pigment, OnPlan and Casual; and “Excel-powered” solutions like Cube and DataRails.
