OpenAI has acquired Hiro Finance, a personal finance startup, according to an announcement by Hiro Finance founder Ethan Bloch on LinkedIn. The financial details of the deal remain undisclosed. This acquisition reflects OpenAI’s strategic focus on enhancing its AI chatbot’s functionalities, specifically for business finance teams.
Founded in 2023, Hiro Finance developed an AI-based financial planning tool designed to help users manage their finances by inputting data such as salary, debt, and expenses. The tool enabled scenario modeling to aid financial decision-making. Bloch envisioned Hiro Finance as an “AI personal CFO,” and the startup managed over $1 billion in assets.
Following the acquisition, Hiro Finance will cease accepting new sign-ups immediately. The Hiro product will become non-functional by April 20, 2026, and all user data will be permanently deleted from its servers by May 13, 2026. Existing users are advised to export their data before the deletion date.
