Alder: the AI employee that gets you paid

Hey everyone, I'm Tejas, founder of Alder. 👋

TL;DR: Alder is an AI employee for accounts receivable. It works your receivables like a great AR hire: it finds out why a payment is stuck, follows up with the right person, and gets it moving. Nothing goes to your customer without your OK.

Our ask: if your team spends time chasing invoices and getting paid, send them to us. We'll work them for you, free for two weeks. Book 30 minutes at meetalder.com/demo or email founders@meetalder.com.

Invoices don't get refused. They get stuck.

In the US, 43% of B2B invoice value is overdue at any given time, and another 5% gets written off. Most of it is stuck.

- A PO number is missing, so the invoice can't be approved

- The customer's AP portal rejected it, and the notice went to an inbox nobody checks

- The AP contact left or is on leave, and nobody else owns it

- "It's on Friday's payment run", and Friday comes and goes

We learned this the hard way selling to a large bank: our champion left, the AP team had never heard of our contract, the new contact went on maternity leave, and then someone needed two weeks to verify our bank details. Eight emails and one very polite phone call later, we got paid.

Unsticking each invoice takes a person who can diagnose the blocker, find the new owner, send the right document, and remember what was promised three weeks ago. Today that's your AR team or an outsourced BPO, and most AR tools just help them track the work instead of doing it.

Meet Alder - your AI accounts receivable employee:

What Alder does

- Knows what's outstanding. Reads open invoices from your ERP, plus past replies, attachments, and incoming payments

- Diagnoses before it writes. Works out why each invoice is late first

- Checks with you. Anything customer-facing waits for your approval

- Does the work. Follows up in the original email thread, submits and fixes invoices in Coupa and Ariba, tracks every promise to pay

- Tells you when it's done. Posts to Slack as work completes, so you always know where every invoice stands.

Team
Before Alder, I built compliance systems that paid 5M+ Uber drivers every week, so I've seen what happens when money has to move on rules. Agents are going to be very good at this work: it's repetitive, it runs on clear rules, and it needs someone who never forgets to follow up. More than $100 trillion in B2B payments moves every year. We’re starting with getting you paid, and Alder will take on more of the back office from there.
