The startup plans to use the funds to increase hiring in key verticals and expand in India and other geographies like Asia Pacific (APAC) region, invest in technology and grow the enterprise. They will use the capital to strengthen their artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning-powered underwriting software to better measure potential customers.

The founders of the fintech firm said the startup leveraged the financial acumen of its team members with technology to build an AI-powered financial model, reportedly a first in the country.

“Firms in the IT sphere have highly predictable cash flows with the only problem being lagging revenues. We finance them against these anticipated cash flows”, said, Eklavya Gupta, co-chief executive officer at Recur Club.

Elaborating on the revenue model, Abhinav Sherwal said that the company charges ‘dynamic’ charges for its services. The fee varies from customer to customer and depends on the size and area among other parameters.

Abhinav said the startup primarily focuses on B2B subscriptions, it is especially open to startups in the domains of SaaS, edtech, tech services and direct-to-customer (D2C).
