Y Combinator-backed startup CashBook has raised $2.3 million in a seed funding round. The round was led by prominent VCs JAM and Better Tomorrow Ventures. Kunal Shah, Anupam Mittal and a host of other angel investors also participated in the round.

Vivek Kumar, Co-Founder and CEO of CashBook, said, “Accounting and its related aspects are one of the early challenges faced by small businesses. I have experienced these pain points firsthand and understand the struggles faced by owners in managing accounts and other aspects of their business.
“It is imperative to keep track of income and expenditure at this stage and CashBook solves this. With CashBook, businesses can maintain a digital record and get better insights on their accounts as well,” added Vivek.
