Campfire (@meet_campfire) is the AI-native ERP for high-growth tech companies, helping finance and accounting teams automate manual work across accounting, taxes, and investor reporting.
The company, which recently raised a Series B led by Accel and Ribbit Capital, has more than doubled ARR each quarter since Q4 2024, and now has over 100 employees after closing a $35 million Series A in June 2025 with just 12 people.
In this episode of Founder Firesides, founder and CEO @john__glasgow sat down with YC’s @amiklas to talk about launching the first paying version as a Google Sheet, pulling customers off NetSuite with only four employees, doing all the sales himself through Series A, and more.
