CollectWise, a Y Combinator‑backed startup founded in 2024, deploys generative AI to automate consumer debt collection in a $35B U.S. market. Its autonomous agents already double the performance of human collectors while cutting operating costs.

The company has reached a $2M annualized run rate with just eight employees and now targets $10M ARR. Hiring a Founding Account Executive will hand‑off the founder’s sales volume—hundreds of calls a month—to a dedicated professional who can scale demos, close high‑ACV deals, and build a repeatable pipeline.

CollectWise’s architecture fuses open‑source LLMs with an integrated legal network, enabling data‑driven, respectful outreach that maintains brand reputation. The system tracks recovery rates in real time and adjusts messaging for each debtor segment, giving teams precise ROI metrics.

For sales, the role demands 8–12 demos a day, consultative selling, and coordination across executives, legal, and procurement. Compensation offers $300K–$375K OTE, high commission, and meaningful equity in a fast‑growing AI company.
