Cleavr secures €1M to scale AI collaborator for finance teams
Paris-based startup Cleavr has raised €1 million to accelerate the development and rollout of its AI-powered collaborator designed to support finance teams across the entire collections cycle. The fresh capital will be used to deepen product capabilities, strengthen integrations with existing finance tools, and expand commercial operations across Europe.
An AI copilot for the full collections workflow
Cleavr positions its platform as an intelligent copilot for accounts receivable teams, helping them manage everything from invoice tracking to payment reminders and dispute handling. By leveraging advanced AI algorithms and natural language processing, the solution can prioritize overdue accounts, draft personalized outreach messages, and surface real-time insights on payment risk.
The company aims to replace manual spreadsheets, fragmented email threads, and rigid legacy software with a single, collaborative workspace. Finance teams can use Cleavr to centralize customer payment data, coordinate follow-ups, and automate repetitive tasks while maintaining human oversight on sensitive negotiations.
Addressing rising pressure on cash flow
With many businesses facing tighter liquidity and persistent late payments, improving the efficiency of cash collection has become a strategic priority. Tools like Cleavr promise to shorten days sales outstanding (DSO), reduce write-offs, and free up finance professionals to focus on higher-value analysis and planning.
The new funding will enable Cleavr to invest further in its underlying AI infrastructure, enhance predictive models for payment behavior, and build connectors to popular ERP and accounting platforms. The startup is also expected to grow its sales and customer success teams to support mid-market and enterprise clients across multiple sectors.
Scaling from France to broader European markets
Based in Paris, Cleavr is part of a fast-growing wave of European fintech and AI companies targeting back-office automation. With this €1 million round, the company plans to accelerate go-to-market efforts beyond France, positioning its AI collaborator as a key tool for finance leaders seeking more predictable cash flow and better control over receivables.
