Area tech startup using AI for better accounting raises $120K

Pezzi, a tech startup with offices in Tampa and Sarasota that uses artificial intelligence to create accounting software for small businesses, has raised $120,000 from undisclosed investors. 

The funding, according to a statement, is pre-seed, meaning it will likely be used for product development in return for equity in the business. The company, which means pieces in Italian, was founded by Andres Hernandez, who grew up in the region, the release states. Hernandez has worked in software engineering for the past three years, according to his LinkedIn profile, including a stint as quality assurance engineer for Walt Disney Co.
