Tarek Alaruri, co-founder and CEO of Stuut, appeared in multiple interviews in October 2026 to discuss the company's recent $52.5 million Series B funding round led by Insight Partners, bringing Stuut's total funding to $93 million. Alaruri stated that the round came together quickly due to his prior working relationship with Insight Partners, and noted that Stuut had grown its customer base eightfold since the previous year. He described Stuut as an AI-powered order-to-cash platform that automates accounts receivable processes, including collections, payments, disputes, and cash application, and cited metrics such as a 47% reduction in overdue invoices and a 95% cash match rate for customers. In his interviews, Alaruri discussed the scale of the B2B payments problem, estimating $17 trillion in annual B2B transactions and noting that customers on average pay 89 days late, often due to clerical issues rather than unwillingness to pay. He also shared findings from a study Stuut released with investor Andreessen Horowitz, which estimated that $7.4 trillion in U.S. B2B revenue is tied up in receivables and that roughly 5% of invoices are left untouched. Alaruri expressed skepticism about fully autonomous AI agents transacting on behalf of Fortune 500 companies within the next decade, describing the near-term model as more of a co-pilot approach where AI handles defined workflows while humans remain involved. He also mentioned that Stuut had moved $3 to $5 billion in payments during the year and was expanding with offices in San Francisco, New York, and a planned Dublin location.

Companies like Honeywell, PerkinElmer, and CharterUp use Stuut to automate accounts receivable end to end, collecting 40% more revenue in their first few months on the platform.

Cash flow is oxygen, and too many teams are holding their breath waiting on portals, proofs, and “who handles this?” handoffs.
