Why it matters
Light raised $30 million from Balderton in 2025 after growing thirtyfold in a year, making it Europe’s leading AI-native ERP challenger alongside Lensing. It is aimed at the same multi-entity technology companies Rillet is winning in the US, and its New York office puts the two on a collision course.
