Top Information Technology Startups in 2026

Aleph is an AI-native platform for Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A). We operate in an established software category with a multi-billion market but no clear winner. Our growth has come from product velocity and customer outcomes, not marketing spend, and the results speak for themselves. Aleph was founded by Albert Gozzi and Santiago Perez De Rosso, two technical founders with backgrounds from Stanford and MIT and experience working at top-tier companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Bain & Company. We’re backed by top VCs (Bain Capital Ventures, Khosla Ventures, YC, Picus Capital), and work with customers like Webflow, Turo, Notion, Zapier, and many others. What we’ve built so far is the most seamless way to centralize all of a company's financial data – think expenses from Quickbooks or Netsuite, pipeline forecasts from Salesforce – and bring it into the tools finance teams are already using. But the vision goes way beyond that: Aleph is AI-native at its core, automating reporting, variance analysis, and forecasting through intelligent agents. We’re building the always-on decision layer for modern businesses. We’re moving fast, shipping constantly, leaning into AI to make the product smarter with every release, while also applying AI to how we sell, support and scale. Our churn is low, growth is strong, and the pace keeps accelerating. We are hiring remotely across the Americas (United States, Canada, LATAM).

The Wellness Feed launched in late 2019 as a premier lifestyle and news publication devoted to the eco-friendly scene- and all its chic lifestyle components. Created by a journalist – we’re known for impeccable reporting, trend spotting, and recommending the best eco-friendly brands, influencers, and research about living a sustainable lifestyle. Our team carefully chooses who we feature by asking the hard questions about their sustainable goals for both the present and the future. Read an influencer’s journey to quit fast fashion. Support small businesses and shop a sustainable brand. Watch a tutorial on clean beauty. Or, maybe a good ole’ plastic-free petition is more your style? Whatever your favorite beat is, we want to excite you and keep you well informed. Our goal is to become your trusted go-to for intel on eco-friendly beauty, fashion, travel and more. Consider The Wellness Feed your breeding ground for living a sustainable lifestyle.
