Retab Raises $3.5M in Pre-Seed Round

Retab, a San Francisco, CA-based developer platform for document automation, has raised $3.5 million in pre-seed funding.

The round included backing from VentureFriends, Kima Ventures, K5 Global, and notable angels such as Eric Schmidt (via StemAI), Olivier Pomel (Datadog CEO), and Florian Douetteau (Dataiku CEO).

The company will use the funding to scale its infrastructure, further develop the platform, and grow its developer community.

Founded by Louis de Benoist, Sacha Ichbiah, and Victor Plaisance, Retab is a developer platform and SDK that transforms document processing using large language models (LLMs). Its all-in-one platform converts messy PDFs, handwritten scans, and other unstructured formats into clean, structured data—without relying on brittle third-party tools. With features like model routing, guided reasoning, and k-LLM consensus, Retab ensures production-grade outputs at scale. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Retab serves customers in logistics, finance, and healthcare.
