A mission to build the AI-native successor to Excel

The most important decisions in a company happen in spreadsheets. Who to hire. What to build. Whether the numbers add up. And there’s a reason for that.

Spreadsheets are a bicycle of the mind. There’s nothing else like them. An infinite canvas on which you can play, move, touch, and feel data. It’s the perfect balance of simple, yet powerful.

But spreadsheets were built for a world defined by static files and manual exports. And yet, despite decades of “spreadsheet replacements”, teams always end up right back where they started.

That insight led us to start Equals. If spreadsheets are the right interface, they should be connected to your data. Not built on a brittle foundation of stale exports.

Since our founding, AI has changed the nature of computing. Spreadsheets will no longer be a passive surface for analysis. They will take initiative. They will advise. They will be partners in running your business.

We believe spreadsheets were not invented—they were discovered. They reflect how people actually think, and have been critical since 1979.

We’re building the spreadsheet that will still be critical in 2079.
