Daylit is building autonomous AI agents for accounts receivable (AR), one of the most cash-critical and manually intensive functions in any business. Finance teams spend enormous effort chasing invoices, resolving disputes, applying payments, and forecasting cash, work that directly determines a company's working capital but is often handled with spreadsheets and email. Daylit's platform deploys AI agents that take action across the entire AR lifecycle rather than simply recording it.
Daylit describes its platform as turning AR from a 'system of intelligence' into a 'system of action.' Its agents autonomously run collections, sequence outreach to customers, resolve disputes, match and apply payments, and deliver real-time cash intelligence so finance leaders always know their true cash position. The company frames itself as an all-in-one working-capital platform for real-economy businesses, the firms whose operations depend on predictable cash flow.
Daylit was co-founded by Jared Shulman, who serves as CEO, and Jerry Shu, who serves as CTO. The founding team is building toward fully autonomous collections, where AI handles the repetitive, judgment-light steps of AR and escalates only the exceptions that need human attention, freeing finance teams to focus on strategy and relationships.
In September 2025, Daylit raised $110 million in combined equity and debt to roll out its AR AI agents. The round was led by Companyon Ventures, with participation from NextView Ventures and SixThirty Ventures, plus executives from Meta and Yelp, and included a credit facility from Viola Credit. The blend of equity and a credit facility reflects Daylit's working-capital focus, capital it can deploy to support the cash-flow needs of the businesses it serves.
Daylit launched its AR AI agent platform publicly in early 2026, positioning itself in a fast-growing category of agentic finance-operations tools competing to automate the office of the CFO.
