Valyx Secures USD 800K Pre-Seed Funding to Revolutionise B2B Financial Management

B2B financial management platform Valyx has raised USD 800K in a pre-seed funding round co-led by Huddle Ventures and Waveform Ventures. The round also saw participation from Bharat Founders Fund and Propell Fund, led by Shanti Mohan of LetsVenture.

The funds will be used to expand Valyx's sales and engineering teams, with a focus on accelerating its product roadmap.

Founded in 2023 by Avishek Ray and Anirudh Bhargava, Valyx automates billing and receivables management, helping businesses streamline payments, improve cash flow, and close financial books faster. Key features include usage-based billing, collections, reconciliation, and dispute management.

By automating these processes, Valyx enables finance and sales teams to focus on building relationships with buyers.

Having processed over INR 200 crore in accounts receivable, Valyx claims that it is addressing a major pain point in financial operations. "We're eliminating the need for manual Excel to track contracts and calculate usage, manual follow-ups, tedious bank statement downloads, and the frustration of searching through multiple tools, emails, and sheets to identify which customers require attention," said Ray, Founder, Valyx.

"By leveraging artificial intelligence, customisable workflows, and integrations with ERP, payments, and internal systems, Valyx automates the billing and receivables flow. Our platform enables businesses to get paid up to 30% faster and close their books more efficiently," Ray added.

With plans to build a full-stack AI-powered revenue management platform, Valyx aims to transform B2B payments and financing in the coming years.
