AI-Powered Accounts Receivable: How Cleavr Is Using €1M to Automate B2B Cash Flow Management

Cleavr, an artificial intelligence platform purpose-built for autonomous accounts receivable management, has secured €1 million in seed funding from a consortium of notable backers, including Kima Ventures, Better Angle, Raphaël Nahum (CFO of Pennylane), Régis Samuel (CEO of MyUnisoft), and Olivier Brourhant (CEO of Mantu).

The Paris-based startup has engineered an AI-driven solution aimed at empowering finance teams throughout the entire accounts receivable lifecycle — tackling one of the most persistent operational pain points in corporate finance: late payments and deteriorating cash flow. Unpaid invoices continue to represent a significant drag on business liquidity, forcing companies of all sizes to absorb recurring financial losses that compound over time.

At the core of Cleavr's offering is an intelligent automation engine that takes ownership of the collection process end-to-end. The platform handles the full spectrum of collection workflows — from automated payment reminders and invoice reconciliation to dispute resolution and escalation management. Where legacy tools rely on rigid, rule-based sequences, Cleavr's system dynamically orchestrates multi-channel outreach, intelligently identifies the right stakeholders within debtor organizations, processes payment commitments, and triggers escalation protocols precisely when human intervention becomes warranted.

Our ambition is simple: to give every company the collection rigor of a large finance department. By taking charge of most tasks, our AI ensures systematic follow-up of invoices and allows teams to focus on higher-value cases,

said Baptiste Nassoy, CEO and co-founder of Cleavr.

Nassoy's vision speaks to a broader democratization trend in enterprise finance tooling — the idea that sophisticated collection infrastructure, historically the preserve of large organizations with dedicated credit control departments, can now be made accessible to businesses operating with leaner finance functions. Cleavr achieves this through deep integration with existing accounting platforms and ERP systems, allowing organizations to monitor overdue invoices in real time, maintain structured communication with debtors, and continuously refine outreach strategies based on evolving engagement patterns. The result is a self-improving collection loop that operates with minimal manual oversight.

The platform has already gained meaningful traction, with approximately fifty clients now relying on Cleavr to manage the majority of their collection cycle. Early adoption signals growing demand for AI-native alternatives to manual follow-up processes — particularly among mid-market companies seeking to tighten cash conversion cycles without expanding headcount.

The freshly secured capital will fuel Cleavr's go-to-market acceleration across France while laying the groundwork for a broader push into European markets, with an international rollout formally targeted from 2026 onward.
