The browser built to do real work for you
Aside is an AI browser that completes real work across the websites you already use. It can sign in through your browser, work inside email, dashboards, internal tools, docs, and spreadsheets, and keep going when a task takes minutes or hours. Unlike agents that depend on integrations, Aside uses the web the way you do. Browsing history becomes local memory, so it knows which tools and context matter. Its password manager lets agents autofill credentials without exposing secrets to the AI. Sensitive actions like payments, posts, and messages wait for your approval. Aside is built as a fast daily browser plus a state-of-the-art browser agent. It ranks #1 on Online-Mind2Web, BU-Bench-V1, and Odysseys, and runs local-first with device-protected memory and data.
As reported in public records reported — not modeled.
Solid bars are reported offering amounts reported; hatched bars are the modeled post-money valuation est. — both on one shared scale so you can read raise-vs-worth at each round directly. Use the toggles to overlay data labels and the niche-peer / market average value lines.
The line shows cumulative reported funding over the period; + labels show new capital added between points when there is room. Toggle on-bar figures, plus the niche-peer and market averages, to read this company against its cohort. Benchmarks are modeled medians.
Stages are modeled from round size (public records carry no series label). No record for: Pre-Seed, Seed — the company may have raised it under a different exemption, merged it into an adjacent record, or skipped it. Sequence completeness: 50%.
Round size and date are reported; the stage label is inferred from round size (latest is Series B — a $15M–$40M round). Valuation is modeled from stage benchmarks scaled by the fintech sector profile. Directional, not a quoted figure.
Benchmarked against 1063 companies in Fintech. Each bar is a median (the middle company, not an average — outliers don't skew it). Two yardsticks: real money raised (reported on Form D) and modeled value (our estimate est.). These are whole-sector medians across all stages, except the per-stage row.
Raised more than 94% of sector peers (real $). Modeled value above 81% of peers (estimate).
A tighter cohort than the sector chart above — only companies at the same stage (Series B) that last raised in the same ~3-year era, ranked by modeled value est. (not money raised). This is the exact set the analyst read compares against, so a like-for-like cohort is what makes "over/under-valued" meaningful. This company ranks #12 of 12.
