LinkedInThe seed round was co-led by Bessemer Venture Partners and DN Capital to support European expansion.
"As a former CFO, I’ve seen finance teams drowning in billing queries and tirelessly chasing invoices with reminders that customers ignore. AI agents have already transformed customer support by automating high-volume, conversational work. That same shift is now coming to accounts receivable, where agents can handle billing conversations end to end and help businesses get paid on time."
The oversubscribed round was led by Lakestar with participation from Perpetual Growth, CF Private Equity, Bessemer Venture Partners, and 83North.
"After spending two years perfecting our SaaS and cloud spend optimisation, achieving product-market fit and taking market share from established players, we’ve brought all of our data and insights directly into the workflow experience. All employees can now initiate any purchase, quickly, transparently and at the best price, while procurement can fully customise the workflows to their needs and embed granular approvals."
The investment round was led by Zinal Growth with participation from Index Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Tony Fadell.
"We’ve been deeply impressed by the execution and vision of Bogdan and the Apron team. They have created a delightful product for both SMBs and accountants, and we are excited to continue supporting them on their journey."
The seed round was led by Bessemer Venture Partners with participation from Underline Ventures.

"Carwow’s consumer proposition is just as exciting, which is helping make car changing simpler for consumers across Europe – and with over 9 million car changes a year alone in the UK, we’re looking forward to supporting the Management team in growing the business and delivering on its true potential. Carwow’s focus on using its content expertise and footprint to drive its commerce services through dealer partnerships makes it unique and compelling in the category."
