account receivables

Remember when those guys who had slicked back hair and carried a bat paid you a visit about a debt you owed? You know debt collectors.

Well times have changed and March Schillinger, founder of eCollect is transforming the way debt collection and account receivables takes place. eCollect is a fully digitalised receivables management FinTech startup with best-in-class AI and machine learning technology. They’re currently operating in several European countries, provide services for more than 13 languages, and are approaching 10 million in ARR. This is a very fun conversation with Marc as we learn about eCollect and Marc’s passion for Michael Jordan as I believe he’s Jordan’s number 1 fan. Listen to his story to see why.
