The story

Founded in 2020 as an accounts receivable automation platform targeting finance teams, Kolleno evolved from a basic dunning/collections workflow tool into an AI-powered order-to-cash platform. The company embedded multiple payment rails (Stripe, Adyen, GoCardless, Yapily, Fortis) to become a payment-agnostic AR hub. By 2025 it had pivoted toward AI agent-driven autonomous collections and reconciliation, positioning itself as the financial operations OS for credit controllers and CFOs at businesses with £1M–£100M+ in turnover.
