What AgentCollect does

We recover aged B2B debt in weeks, not quarters: ~49% in 20 days vs ~20% in 4-6 months for traditional agencies. Our AI agents call, email, text, find the right contact (20% of B2B contact data is outdated), and negotiate payment plans 24/7; all under your brand. We replace your offshore BPO and third-party agencies. Your AR team stays focused on strategic accounts. Live with Dell, Microsoft, FedEx, Plaid, and Checkr and hundreds of enterprise companies. Long-tail AR your team has deprioritized becomes recovered cash before a traditional agency even gets moving.

B2B debt collection powered by AI agents

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built AI agents that recover aged B2B debts faster than traditional agencies. Our agents call, email, text, identify current contacts, and negotiate payments around the clock under the client's brand. This automates what offshore call centers and third-party agencies do but works faster and scales better, freeing up clients' AR teams for strategic accounts.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and will keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco gives us access to top talent in AI and fintech, which is key to building and scaling our AI-driven debt collection platform.
