Tirana Slush’D delivered. Honest talks with investors, startups, and founders sharpened how we tell the PayStorm story, and why it matters.

Heard it more than once: clear pitch that stood out. That took the pressure off immensely.

Next stop: Slush 2025, Helsinki.

Next stop: Slush 2025 in Helsinki.

After an energizing few days at Tirana Slush’D, we’re heading to Helsinki to meet investors, founders, operators, and more at one of tech’s biggest stages.

If you’ll be there, let’s meet.

We’re live at Tirana Slush’D.
The team’s been meeting businesses, sharing what we’ve built, and giving an early look at PayStorm ARC.

There’s nothing like showing the product face to face and seeing it resonate.
Grateful to be in a room full of people building what matters.

Not every update changes how you work.
This one does.

The new PayStorm shows you what changed, what matters now, and what to do next.

The kind of help you’d actually want.
Thoughtful, timely, and easy to trust.

We’ll show you more soon.

You’ve used tools that send reminders.
You’ve seen dashboards full of alerts.

But A/R needs a system that moves with purpose.

PayStorm ARC brings structure to the chaos.
It reads behavior, builds sequences, and guides decisions.

Stick around.

We’ve been building something new for PayStorm.

But it didn’t start with a roadmap. It started with conversations.

We kept hearing the same 5 things from founders using the product.

Some small. Some loud. All honest.

So we’re building something new.

By default, reminders are sent through PayStorm’s billing email.

But if you want them to feel more personal—more like you—you can connect your Gmail in seconds.

A small change that helps your message land and sound like it came from your desk.

Your clients speak different languages. PayStorm can too.

Set a default language for reminders. They’ll stay clear, polite, and ready to send — no edits needed.

Here's a startup tip, don't hire accounting firms early.

This is how we handle our own expenses and accounting.

No need to pay extra.

Not every founder budgets in dollars.

In PayStorm, you can set your default dashboard currency to match how you think about money. Euros, pounds, or whatever fits your gut.

Make your dashboard feel familiar.

We’re officially live on the @QuickBooks App Store.

PayStorm connects to your books in seconds and handles the chasing for you.

Predict risk, send reminders, and keep cash moving without the manual work.

Now closer to where decisions get made.

GPT-5 can write a solid payment reminder.

But it doesn’t know your clients. Who needs a nudge? Who’s stalling? Who always pays late?

PayStorm does.

It predicts who might ghost, adapts tone based on behavior, and handles follow-ups in 3 clicks.

Smarter chasing. Less work.

PayStorm uses GPT-5 and other open-source AI to enhance accounts receivable automation.

Combined with our own tech, it predicts late payments, drafts reminders, automates follow-ups, and extracts receipt data with AI OCR. All local, fast, and private.

If you use QuickBooks or Xero, manual data entry wastes time and causes errors.

Our free AI-powered expense scanner extracts info from receipts and sends it to QuickBooks or exports a clean file for Xero. Upload multiple receipts at once.

PayStorm passed rigorous security audits, meeting bank-grade encryption and data protection standards like NIST, PCI, GDPR, and CCPA.

Your financial data stays secure so you can focus on growing your business with confidence.

We know payment risk isn’t static. That’s why we added this feature for those who want to keep a long-term view.

Now it’s easier to be one of those people when you have this feature right at your fingertips.

That’s why we show you your payment performance.

It gives you a baseline.
If the numbers are off, it’s not just your clients. It’s your process.

They show if what you’re doing is working. And if it’s not, PayStorm helps you fix it.

Payment risks shift as customer habits change. Spot patterns early and protect your cash flow.

PayStorm goes beyond quick fixes. See the whole picture and manage your business with calm confidence.

From firefighting to steady growth planning.

You might hear a lot about DSO. What does it really mean for your business?

We break down why payments get delayed and how you can improve without extra work and how PayStorm helps on that.

Swipe through for practical tips on managing receivables.

Keep an eye on how fast you get paid and how many invoices are on time.

These numbers show how healthy your cash flow really is.

PayStorm tracks it all for you so you can spot problems early and act fast.

Stay in control, no guesswork needed.

You can’t act fast if you don’t know where to look.

PayStorm gives you that visibility.

• Connects to Xero or QuickBooks
• Flags risky invoices
• Automates the first follow-up

That’s how founders hit the 24-hour window without adding manual work.

If you rely on getting paid to run your business, speed matters.

Start with better timing and get paid on time with PayStorm.

That single follow-up can speed up your cash flow and reduce stress across the business.

The problem? Most teams don’t know when to act.

That’s what PayStorm is built for:
• Flags what needs attention based on customer behavior
• Automates actions w/ the right tone and timing

The first 24 hours after an invoice is due can decide how fast you get paid.

Recent reports show most SMEs get paid late. But those that follow up within a day are 90% more likely to receive payment within the week.

We’ve embraced AI for marketing and support. But getting paid? Still manual.

According to PYMNTS, 61% of small businesses use AI. Yet only 17% apply it to payments. That gap drains time, delays cash.

PayStorm.ai uses ML to flag risk and automate actions with the right tone.

Most late payments are predictable.

You’ll see it in the slow replies, the vague commitments, the quiet hesitations.

But if every client gets the same follow-up, the warning signs get ignored. And delays pile up.

Scroll to see what actually works.

If you’re on Xero or QuickBooks, setup takes seconds.

Log in, connect your data, and PayStorm.ai takes it from there. Flagging risks, recommending actions, and helping you get paid faster.

That’s leverage. That’s why we built it.

Some clients pay faster when you wait. Others when you escalate.

PayStorm knows which is which.

That’s what made it feel like a partner, not an app.

Bioloupe is one of those rare projects where the problem was big, messy, and meaningful. The kind that forces you to slow down, ask better questions, and rebuild things the right way.

That’s the work we love. And doing it with people who really care? Even better.
