Fazeshift secures $4MM Seed Round Led by Gradient to Automate Accounts Receivable with AI

Fazeshift looks to streamline and automate manual processes with AI agents

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7, 2025Fazeshift, an AI agent for Accounts Receivable, raised $4M in seed funding led by Gradient, Google’s early-stage AI fund. The round also included investment from Y Combinator, Wayfinder, Pioneer Fund, Ritual Capital, Phoenix Fund, and prominent angels including Terrence Rohan, Kulveer Taggar, and Rich Aberman.

Enterprises waste over $200 billion annually managing accounts receivable (AR), bogged down by manual tasks like reconciling payments, generating invoices, and chasing overdue accounts. Fazeshift streamlines this process by automating everything from invoice creation to payment reconciliation, freeing teams from hours of manual work.

Unlike traditional robotic process automation (RPA), which struggles to understand the nuances of AR, Fazeshift’s LLM-powered approach handles complex workflows with ease. Fazeshift’s use of highly specialized LLM prompts tuned to each specific task, allows it to achieve the accuracy and flexibility required for enterprise-grade operations.

“We are seeing AI agents that can reason, perform human-like tasks, and do so with the nuance required for these more sensitive business applications. Eventually we’re going to see all tedious and manual back-office tasks be eliminated. The opportunity for transformation in AR is massive, and this funding allows us to accelerate our product development and customer acquisition efforts,” said Caitlin Leksana, CEO and Co-Founder of Fazeshift.

Fazeshift’s AI agents don’t just answer questions – they can handle complex billing workflows, send customer emails, and even update accounting records. They do this by manipulating the same software tools that human teams previously used. Fazeshift has proven that AI agents can penetrate even the most sensitive business processes.

“The B2B payments stack is being completely reinvented since AI agents have become more mainstream. Finance teams at companies large and small typically struggle with monthly reconciliation and collecting overdue invoices. These finance processes are typically manual and tedious,” said Darian Shirazi, Managing Partner at Gradient. “We’re excited to partner with the Fazeshift team as they streamline finance processes while still giving significant customization and visibility to finance operations teams.”

Fazeshift is already working with several large enterprise customers and automating workflows that previously required teams of 12 people. As the AR space becomes increasingly complex, Fazeshift is positioning itself as the go-to solution for enterprises looking to streamline their AR process.

Jones Raises $15M Series B to Solve Insurance Verification with Vertical AI Agents for Real Estate and Construction

The round led by NewSpring will fuel continued growth as the company releases GenAI Agents that leverage proprietary insurance data

NEW YORK, Jan. 7, 2025Jones, the vertical software company leading AI innovation in insurance verification, today announced the close of its $15M Series B funding round led by NewSpring Capital, a growth equity firm managing $3.5 billion in capital with over 250 platform investments, via its dedicated growth and expansion strategy, NewSpring Growth. The round also saw continued participation from major existing investors, including Hetz Ventures, Camber Creek, Khosla Ventures, JLL Spark, DivcoWest Ventures, Rudin Ventures, and Ground Up Ventures.

Founded by Omri Stern and Michael Rudman, Jones is an AI-driven vertical software company that helps real estate and construction clients to accelerate the collection of insurance certificates (COIs), endorsements, and policies, verify compliance with precision, and integrate bi-directionally with key ERP systems. The company has scaled to 25,039 real estate properties and construction projects across over 2.5 billion square feet in the United States.

The investment marks a pivotal moment for Jones as it doubles down on its mission to help clients make smart decisions about insurance risk so they can boost efficiency and mitigate insurance claims. Jones plans to release a suite of AI-powered Agents, smart assistants that automate routine tasks, reduce manual workloads, and offer autonomous decision-making. The AI Agents are fine-tuned by proprietary data including insurance logic, risk benchmarks, and millions of verified insurance documents. The company also plans to continue expanding software workflows and deepening ERP integrations.

“COI and insurance policy verification is a highly manual and error-prone process, making it ripe for disruption through automation,” said Marc Lederman, General Partner at NewSpring Capital. “Jones AI solutions enable construction and real estate companies to scale their departments efficiently while mitigating legal and financial risks in today’s highly litigious environment. As compliance becomes more complex and regulatory demands rise, Jones has ample room for continued expansion and represents exactly the type of growth-oriented business we seek for investment.”

With this funding, Jones is focused on addressing the ballooning insurance costs in the industry. The company’s latest release, Insurance Policy Verification, helps clients to flag and interpret exclusionary language in insurance policies to mitigate costly payouts from third-party insurance claims, a problem plaguing the industry that COIs do not solve. “The insurance markets have been reeling from economic pressures and are one of the biggest challenges facing real estate and construction, whether it’s from headwinds in origination or the lack of digitization,” said Omri Stern, CEO of Jones. “We’re excited to be part of a cohort of maturing growth-stage AI and data companies that are partnering with the insurance industry to help clients make smarter decisions about insurance risk.”

The Series B funding highlights the company’s success in addressing one of the toughest challenges in the category: scaling an AI-driven software solution in an industry heavily reliant on human-in-the-loop processes. Jones resolved the manual bottleneck by combining machine learning with human compliance experts, paving the way for unparalleled efficiency and scalability. This milestone signals the confidence of investors in the company’s ability to continue building a category-defining business model.

Cemex secures significant funding for lower-emission vehicle replacements

HOUSTON, Jan. 6, 2025 — Cemex is proud to announce its participation in multiple government-sponsored sustainability initiatives, securing funding from state and federal programs to deploy several lower-emission vehicles across its U.S. footprint. This remarkable investment is a crucial step in the company’s ongoing efforts to decarbonize its operations.

Through the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP), Cemex was awarded approximately $13 million to obtain four lower-emission locomotives and two haul trucks for its cement and aggregate sites in New Braunfels and Katy, Texas. The TERP program provides financial incentives to eligible individuals, businesses, or local governments to reduce emissions from polluting vehicles and equipment. Three of the four new locomotives and both haul trucks entered service in late 2023 and mid-2024 in New Braunfels, respectively.

Looking ahead, Cemex will continue its commitment to protecting air quality by deploying additional equipment in 2025. A $2 million grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) Program will allow for two lower-emission locomotives to enter Cemex’s service in Jacksonville and Miami in summer 2025.

“Through these state and federal programs, significant strides toward advancing responsible business practices are more attainable,” said Cemex U.S. President Jaime Muguiro. “Our new lower-emission vehicles play a key role in the development of building materials for roads, schools, hospitals, and more, while also pivotal to our CO2 reduction roadmap.”

Upon placing these emissions-reducing vehicles into service, Cemex decommissions the conventional vehicles they replaced, meeting a core requirement of the programs and reinforcing Cemex’s commitment to a more sustainable future.

This initiative continues Cemex’s efforts at other locations, particularly in Victorville, California, where multiple lower-emission locomotives were added to the fleet. In 2022, nearly 40 low-emission natural gas trucks were introduced to the Southern California fleet, replacing an equal number of older, diesel-powered vehicles. Additionally, in 2023, another lower-emission locomotive was put into service, supported by a $2.5 million grant from the EPA’s Targeted Airshed Grants (TAG) Program.

Decarbonizing its operations is a fundamental aspect of Cemex’s Future in Action program, which focuses on achieving sustainable excellence through climate action, circularity, and natural resource management with the primary objective of becoming a net-zero CO2 company by 2050.

About Cemex U.S.

Cemex is a global building materials company that provides high-quality products and reliable services with a rich history of improving the wellbeing of those it serves through innovative building solutions, efficiency advancements and sustainability efforts. Its U.S. network includes 8 cement plants, close to 50 strategically located cement terminals, nearly 50 aggregate quarries and more than 280 ready-mix concrete plants. Cemex U.S. has been repeatedly recognized for its efforts in sustainability and energy management, including earning U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year consecutively since 2019.
