Pilot was founded in 2016 by Jeff Arnold, Jessica McKellar, and Waseem Daher. The company has not publicly endorsed plans to participate in an IPO.
Pilot provides back office services for startups and small businesses, allowing new companies to outsource certain necessary administrative roles. Pilot employs a team of experienced workers, many of them accountants, who are assigned to work directly with a client. The company's model also makes use of automation and is flexible and fully scalable. Pilot has raised more than $160 million in venture capital funding. A $100 million round in 2021 increased the company's valuation to $1.2 billion. Investors include Bezos Expeditions, Whale Rock Capital, Sequoia, and Index Ventures.
