Cleavr

What Cleavr does

Cleavr SAS is a Paris-based software company, founded in 2025, that operates an AI-powered autonomous accounts receivable management platform for European B2B businesses. The product connects to clients' ERP and accounting systems (Pennylane, Sage, Cegid, Sellsy, NetSuite, SAP, Stripe, Chargebee, Odoo, Xero, and others) and runs an AI agent — branded Cleavr Intelligence — that reads debtor communications across email, SMS, WhatsApp, and AI-driven voice calls, qualifies responses (payment confirmation, dispute, cash-flow difficulty), and orchestrates the full collection lifecycle from reminder through pre-legal escalation to legal proceedings. Supporting modules include a white-label debtor portal, automated recovery workflows, payment reconciliation, multi-language international collection (French, English, Spanish, German), Chorus Pro e-invoicing integration, legal-monitoring risk alerts, and a 360° receivables analytics dashboard.

The business model is a quote-based SaaS subscription with an additional success-based fee on amounts recovered via the payment-schedule feature, sold primarily through a demo-led product-led growth motion for SMB and mid-market accounts and assisted sales for larger enterprise deals. Cleavr claims quantified customer outcomes including a 37% reduction in Days Sales Outstanding, a 40% improvement in cash flow, an 80% reduction in manual collection tasks, and a recovery-rate improvement from 5% to 17% with the payment-schedule feature; named customers include Pennylane, Greenly, Swile, Skello, Fichet Group, Morning, iii Financements, One Clinic, and ReCom. The company closed a €1 million pre-seed round in March 2026 led by Kima Ventures and Better Angle, with participation from Another VC, Aonia Ventures, Super Capital, and strategic angels from Pennylane, MyUnisoft, Convelio, and Mantu, and reports an active footprint of approximately 50 clients across France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the United Kingdom with planned European expansion in 2026.

Expansion highlights6 records

Others

• Sellsy: French CRM and accounting suite popular with SMBs that integrates natively with Cleavr. Adjacent ecosystem player that could either continue driving Cleavr's pipeline or build competing in-house dunning features.
• Pennylane: French accounting and financial-management platform that is both an investor and integration partner for Cleavr. Adjacent rather than direct — but represents both a key distribution channel and a potential competitor if it expands into native AR automation.

Broad incumbents

• Versapay: North American AR automation and B2B payments network serving mid-market and enterprise. Overlaps with Cleavr's AR-cash-collection scope, though primarily US-focused and serving larger customers.
• HighRadius: Large enterprise order-to-cash platform offering AI-driven collections, dunning, cash application, and credit management. Competes with Cleavr for enterprise AR automation dollars but at much larger scale and broader scope.
• Billtrust: Established order-to-cash provider covering invoicing, collections, payments, and credit. Competes with Cleavr in the AR-automation category but with a much broader portfolio and enterprise-heavy customer base.

Direct peers

• Sidetrade: French publicly-listed AI platform for order-to-cash and cash collection automation. Targets mid-market and enterprise customers across Europe with predictive AR analytics and automated dunning — the most direct head-to-head competitor to Cleavr in France.
• Upflow: Paris-based B2B accounts receivable management SaaS that centralizes invoicing, reminders, and collections. Overlaps directly with Cleavr's SMB and mid-market motion and competes for the same French finance buyer.
• YayPay (a Versapay company): AI-driven accounts-receivable automation focused on mid-market finance teams. Competes with Cleavr on AR worklist automation, predictive collections, and customer-payment behavior modeling.
• CollectAI (Riverty): AI-powered digital debt-collection platform (now part of Riverty/Bertelsmann) operating across European markets. Uses conversational AI and multi-channel reminders — closely aligned with Cleavr's agentic approach and European scope.

Emerging players

• iController: B2B credit management and collections software used by European corporates and credit insurers. Comparable offering for structured AR follow-up with a more credit-management orientation than Cleavr's autonomous-agent approach.
