5 Highlights from Q1 2026

👀 I realized this week that we are starting Q2...
Already!? (in my mind)

So first, for me it was on a clear theme: Meet people!

But let's take a step back and get the highlights:

1️⃣ We got new clients!
With Capto, we never had issues keeping our clients... we geniunely care! Big up to all of you for your continuous confidence. We keep doing our best 1% better everyday and since more than a year we truly deliver remarkably.
BUT we (I) are working on enabling to make that obvious to the outside world, help more finance friends and scale... and friends... we have sparks!
New clients are going through the door at higher rate... finally!

2️⃣ Sleepless nights
From the above, I have been very focus on this and taking one hypothesis at a time like science! This was really keeping me up at night... how can we do so well and yet block the door, spoiler... something simple was on the way... business isn't complicated supposedly.
I actually took a selfie then, because I knew I would quickly remember this with nostalgia and proudness of the period.

3️⃣ Blessed by the network
You, yes you reading this, thank you! Before this picture below was produced thanks to people like you who found our shares about Automation, AI Agent and finance interesting enough to meet in person in the 4 corners of europe (2 at least in Q1). And I want to thank here specifically all of you (tagged in the picture) for being part of the adventure and have those amazing meetings!

4️⃣ Doubling down
With the team, we have doubled down... we kept doing the same that wasn't working expecting different results... and we were right! It was requiring time and quantity... another lesson from the GOAT Hormozi, we did so much it was unreasonable to fail. Credit to Peter here for the confident duo.

5️⃣ Ho my did we learn
As you can imagine, the technology we use and master (humbly) is moving fast. The thing is we seem to be ahead in a way we don't have a blind trust in what is said, we test, we fail, try again and try to achieve the best results for finance teams... How to build, train, teach a simple AI Agent to become an AI Finance employee. Bravo to Lyubo and the team, we kept on learning!

I guess I could continue like this for a while, but that is my summary!

What was your biggest Q1 win? (or loss if you'd share)

Wishing all of us an amazing Q2!
Alexis

P.S. Thanks to my friend Lucy Koleva for the reminder!
