Alumni Q&A
- How did your company get started? (i.e., How did the founders meet? How did you come up with the idea? How did you decide to be a founder?)
- The founder was influenced by stories of his grandfather, who ran a furniture store in France and personally collected on the credit he extended to customers. After starting his own business and encountering unpaid customers firsthand, he built AgentCollect to use AI agents that call, email, and negotiate around the clock under the client's brand. The company reports recovering about 49% within 20 days, compared with roughly 20% in 4-6 months for legacy agencies, and is live with Dell, Microsoft, FedEx, Plaid, and Checkr.
