- Paraglide
Participated · Seed · Jan 2026
Paraglide offers an agentic AI platform that automates end-to-end, two-way billing communication for high-volume B2B finance teams. Its AI agents answer customer billing queries, chase overdue invoices, and trigger actions across the financial stack to reduce Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) and improve cash flow. Early mid-market and enterprise customers such as Choco, Ardoq, and Spiideo report a 34 % reduction in DSO and reaching financial inbox-zero within the first week of onboarding. The company has also partnered with revenue-automation provider Chargebee to deepen its ecosystem reach. Founded by former GetAccept executives Rasmus Areskoug and Andreas Åström, Paraglide seeks to alleviate one of finance’s most persistent pain points. The new capital will be used to scale the product, grow the customer base, and drive expansion across Europe as demand for agentic automation accelerates.
- DOST
Participated · Series A · Nov 2025
Dost develops a proprietary generative-AI platform that automates the entire procure-to-pay and order-to-cash cycles, covering document capture, data extraction, supplier workflows and ERP integration. Its models are trained in-house rather than relying on third-party OCR, enabling the system to handle complex, multi-page invoices common in manufacturing, construction, logistics, automotive, food & beverage and chemicals. The software is already used by more than 150 European enterprises, eliminating manual data entry and reducing approval delays. Founded in 2021 by Adam Barbera, Fernando Martín, Naqqash Abassi and Àlex Caudet, the company is now headquartered in London. Dost is assembling a seven-person UK team spanning sales, marketing and customer success to support its launch. With newly secured Series A capital, the startup intends to deepen its footprint in Spain while expanding aggressively in the UK. No revenue or profitability figures were disclosed.
