We raised $1M to make sure you never overpay your suppliers.

Every large company overpays its suppliers. Not through carelessness, but because the systems that approve, pay, and reconcile invoices were never built to talk to one another. Duplicate payments slip through. Negotiated rebates go uncollected. Contract terms agreed over email never reach the ledger. Each error is small on its own. Together they quietly drain millions from the business every year.

For fifty years, one industry has profited from finding this money, and from finding it again the next year. The traditional recovery audit is paid a share of every error it uncovers, which means it has no reason to ever prevent one. The work still depends on thousands of analysts reading data that is months old by the time it arrives. That is no longer a job for people.

Why now

The most valuable errors hide in documents, not spreadsheets: a rebate schedule inside a PDF, an allowance agreed in an email thread, a price-protection clause buried in a master agreement. Reading those documents used to require experienced auditors. It is exactly the work language models were built to do. For the first time, the hardest part of the audit can be done at scale, in days rather than quarters.

What we are building

Sticker is an AI-native recovery audit. We analyze the payment data a company already produces, identify where suppliers have been overpaid, and return the difference as credits and refunds. Our fee comes out of what we recover, so a company that finds nothing pays nothing.

Recovery is only the beginning. Every error we find points to a control that failed or a term that never made it into the system. We fix the cause, then verify every invoice before and after payment, so the money stays where it belongs. We are the only auditor whose business improves when the errors stop.

The round

This $1 million round is led by Better Tomorrow Ventures, with participation from Slow Ventures. The funding lets us serve more finance teams, deepen our detection across contracts and supplier statements, and shorten the time between a company sending its data and seeing money returned.

We are grateful to our early customers for their trust, and we intend to re-earn it every day. If your company pays suppliers at scale, we would like to show you what we can find.
