What Fazeshift does

Fazeshift is an AI agent for automating Accounts Receivable. What used to take teams of people and hours of manual work can now be fully automated with Fazeshift. Caitlin and Timmy met while getting their MBA at Harvard. After graduating, they started a B2B marketing software startup, which is where they first experienced the pain of this process. The problem stems from fragmented data across software platforms like QuickBooks, Stripe, NetSuite, DocuSign, HubSpot, and Salesforce. Fazeshift’s infrastructure connects the data across these software platforms and uses LLMs to automate the previously manual workflow.

AI agent for Accounts Receivable

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

We built an AI agent that automates Accounts Receivable by connecting fragmented data from QuickBooks, Stripe, NetSuite, DocuSign, HubSpot, and Salesforce. Our product pulls together these sources, uses large language models to handle collections workflows, and replaces hours of manual work that previously required dedicated teams.

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

We live in San Francisco, and the company is based there as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where we've built our early team and product, and we want to stay close to the customers and fintech/startup ecosystem here.
