About AgentCollect

AgentCollect (formerly Respaid, YC S23) is a B2B debt collection platform powered by AI agents that call, email, text, and negotiate payment plans 24/7 on behalf of clients, operating under the client's brand. It targets businesses with overdue B2B invoices, replacing traditional collection agencies and offshore BPOs. The platform claims ~49–50% recovery within 20 days, versus ~20% in 4–6 months for legacy agencies.

John Banner

My prior startup's downfall was due to unpaid invoices. With no viable market solution and seeing that 1/4 of businesses faced bankruptcy for similar reasons, I founded Respaid, using AI and respect to address the issue. Beyond entrepreneurship, I'm a commander in the French Republican Guard, a pianist, composer, and passionate about fintech meeting psychology. An engineer by training, I graduated from Harvard Business School and Ecole Centrale Electronique. Also, I'm a proud dad of 4 under 5 🙂
