Episode Details

Debtist scaled to €15M ARR in just 3 years as it builds an AI-powered receivables management platform across Europe.

Matteo Benedetti is Founder at Debtist. The company started from identifying a gap in traditional debt collection and built an end-to-end software platform that automates receivables management using AI across email, calling, document handling, and legal workflows. It now serves around 500 clients across Germany, the UK, Scandinavia and other European markets.
