Mission

Future of accounts receivable

Daylit is building the future of accounts receivables across three pillars:

1. AI to automate actions
2. Intelligence to see into the future of payments
3. Capital to make sure every invoice has liquidity.

We believe that finance leaders should spend less time as a cost center and more time focused on creating value and accounts receivable should be one less thing to worry about.

Vision

Agents to get you paid on time, every time

From the beginning, Daylit has been focused on building a coordinated network of the most capable forensic accounting and communication agents, designed to analyze receivables and develop a plan to collect them.

Today, these agents have evolved from reading bank account and ERP data to analyzing customer fact patterns, coordinating cross-system communication, all with the mission of getting businesses paid on time, every time.

Values

Be curious, achieve as a team, and grind

Daylit's four values are listed as:

1. Lean curious
2. Achieve excellence
3. Win and lose as a team
4. Enjoy the grind

We value and protect our company culture and push to bring the brightest and highest achievers across the world to join our pursuit.

TIMELINE

From humble roots to staying humble.

Daylit has grown to become a leader and innovator in the world of working capital.
