Reducto

Document intelligence API that turns messy PDFs, scans, and spreadsheets into structured, LLM-ready data using vision models plus OCR.

Reducto was founded in 2023 by MIT classmates Adit Abraham and Raunak Chowdhuri, who built the first version of the product over a weekend before enterprise customers started asking for it. The company is headquartered in San Francisco and has raised over $100 million across seed, Series A, and Series B rounds from Benchmark, a16z, First Round Capital, and Y Combinator. Reducto's platform combines computer vision, layout-aware models, and vision-language models to parse complex documents that break traditional OCR: dense financial tables, nested forms, scanned contracts, and mixed-language filings. Its Agentic OCR feature runs a VLM agent over baseline OCR output to catch and correct errors before the data reaches a customer's pipeline, and the API exposes separate parse, extract, split, and edit endpoints so teams can pull structured JSON without building their own post-processing. The company counts Harvey, Scale AI, and Vanta among its customers and says it has processed more than a billion pages, mostly for finance, legal, and healthcare teams building retrieval and extraction systems on top of large language models.
