Ken Villum Klausen (Repodo): an AI-native audit firm
Repodo founder Ken Villum Klausen joins on the day of announcing an €8.2M pre-seed to build the world's first AI-native audit firm, where agents do the grunt work and in-house statutory auditors sign off. He explains why they chose to become the audit firm rather than sell tools to the Big Four, claims their auditors could handle 5,000–7,500 accounts a year versus roughly 200 today, and shares second-time-founder lessons, the new ~€10M ARR-in-12-months bar for a strong Series A, and plans to expand beyond Denmark.
