Ande

New York – September 22, 2026 -- Ande, an AI-native network for corporate entertainment, emerged from stealth with more than $52 million in seed and Series A funding led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Duration Ventures, and Sierra Ventures, with participation from Bain Capital Ventures.

Enterprises spend an estimated $325 billion annually on entertainment, yet booking and expense tracking remain fragmented.

Client dinners, team outings, catering, sporting events, and gifting are currently managed across credit cards, accounts payable systems, and consumer apps, creating a manual reconciliation burden for corporate finance teams.
