Seema Amble from Andreessen Horowitz and Steve Sarracino from Activant Capital will join the board. The funding will go toward product development and expanding Stuut's capabilities for mid-market and enterprise companies across collections, payments, cash application, deductions, credits, and disputes.
Why now? Stuut argues that accounts receivable remains one of the last finance functions dominated by manual work — chasing customers, logging into portals, matching payments by hand. The company says businesses lose up to 5% of EBITDA to these inefficiencies, a problem especially acute for manufacturers, distributors, CPG, and logistics firms with complex customer relationships.
"The technology to actually automate this work didn't exist 18 months ago when we started Stuut," said Tarek Alaruri, chief executive officer and co-founder. "Previous solutions help humans click buttons faster. We eliminate the clicking entirely."
Unlike legacy AR platforms that take 6–18 months to implement, Stuut claims it can integrate with existing ERP systems in under a week. The company says it has already reduced overdue balances by 40% and cut manual tasks by 70% for customers including ZoomInfo, HoneywellDealroom has a profile for this one.

What could go wrong? Stuut is entering a crowded fintech space where incumbents like Billtrust, HighRadius, and Esker have deep enterprise relationships. Convincing large companies to hand over sensitive financial workflows to an AI agent — rather than a human-supervised tool — requires significant trust-building.
There's also the question of how well AI handles edge cases. AR work involves nuanced customer relationships, disputed invoices, and complex deduction logic that can vary wildly across industries and even individual accounts.
The signal: Stuut's investor roster — Andreessen Horowitz leading, with Khosla Ventures and Activant Capital alongside — assembles three of the most active funds backing vertical AI infrastructure plays, suggesting strong conviction that back-office finance is the next domain where autonomous agents can displace labour-intensive workflows. The round also underscores a growing appetite for startups that bypass legacy software incumbents entirely rather than layer AI on top of existing tools.
