How Trampoline AI saves hours each week on expense management with Venn

Running a five-person AI startup means every hour counts. For Edouard, CEO of Trampoline AI, those hours were disappearing into expense reconciliation.His team builds AI-powered workspaces for pre-sales teams at SaaS and service companies. But instead of focusing on product development, Edouard spent his time wrestling with Banque Nationale's banking interface that felt like a relic from the early 2000s. Like many Canadian startups, they needed a financial platform that could match its speed.

About Trampoline AI

Trampoline AI builds AI-powered workspaces for pre-sales teams at SaaS and service companies. The five-person startup needed financial tools that could keep up with its pace. Instead, hours were being lost each week to expense reconciliation and outdated banking interfaces.

The problem

Outdated traditional banking made expense tracking slow and stressful

The outdated interface was only the beginning. With just one corporate card to manage expenses, reconciliation quickly became a burden. Tracking hundreds of small purchases under $50 without receipts made year-end stressful and time-consuming.

“When the year comes to a close and you realize you have 736 transactions with no receipts, you know you’re going to spend five times more time fixing it than if you could have handled it in the moment,”

As the company grew, Edouard needed a way to issue cards for new team members, automate receipt collection, and approve expenses without losing hours of his week.

The solution

Corporate cards and receipt automation that save hours every week

Trampoline AI needed flexible card issuance. They discovered a platform that solved multiple pain points at once.

With Venn, the team could issue unlimited physical and virtual corporate cards instantly, each with its own limits and controls. For Edouard, this meant new hires could be equipped with their own card on day one without relying on personal credit.

Another game changer was receipt capture. Each purchase triggered a simple SMS or email link prompting employees to upload their receipts. No more end-of-year surprises. 

“That really saves us a lot of time. You get a reminder right away, you take a picture, and it’s done. We don’t forget anymore.”

Venn also streamlined approvals. Instead of handling every transaction himself, Edouard's executive assistant now prepares payments in the platform, leaving him with a single list to review and approve each morning.

The result

A full week of time saved and expenses finally under control

Hours of manual work saved weekly and at year-end, a full week of work saved. 

All transactions, receipts, and reimbursements are now tied to one system, eliminating the need for third-party expense apps and the risk of lost records. For Edouard, that meant more time spent leading his business instead of chasing receipts.

As a founder, I want to spend most of my time managing the business, not petty cash. Venn lets me do that,

Trampoline AI initially left its previous provider because of outdated technology. But the decision to stay with Venn has been about more than modern design. The platform combined everything the team needed in one place:

Edouard rated his previous provider a “2 out of 10.” When asked to rate Venn, his answer was simple: “10”.
