Anchorbase, a payments and automation platform for mid-market businesses, today announced it has raised a $2 million USD pre-seed round backed by Cambrian VC and TTV Capital.
Anchorbase uses AI to automate payment collection, reconciliation, reporting, and back-office workflows within the software that companies already use. The platform functions as a secure desktop environment that interacts with systems the way an employee does: by understanding what is on the screen, knowing what action needs to happen next, and helping complete that action accurately and repeatably. With Anchorbase, businesses can initiate payments inside their existing DMS, CRM, accounting system, or operational software, collect funds through a terminal or payment link, automatically reconcile payments to the correct invoice, and trigger the next workflow – all without switching between disconnected tools.
“Anchorbase was designed for the real world of mid-market businesses, where critical work still happens inside legacy systems. These companies do not need another abstract AI strategy or expensive SaaS platform. They need practical tools that make their teams faster, reduce manual work, and help them collect and reconcile money with less friction,” said Doug van Spronsen, Co-Founder and CEO of Anchorbase. “This funding gives us the ability to move faster while staying focused on our mission: building infrastructure for businesses that have been underserved by modern automation.”
Most mid-market companies run on outdated software that is difficult to replace. While essential to business operations, these legacy systems often do not connect cleanly to modern payment tools, reconciliation workflows, or AI automation. In many cases, they also lack modern APIs, making traditional integrations difficult or impractical. Anchorbase solves this challenge by layering AI-powered payments and automation onto existing systems of record, bringing back-office workflows into the modern era.
“Payments are one of the most important entry points for embedded financial software and workflow automation,” said Rex Salisbury, Founder and General Partner at Cambrian VC. “Anchorbase has a clear understanding of how mid-market companies actually operate, and the team is building a practical platform that can create immediate value while expanding into broader workflow automation over time.”
Anchorbase does not charge traditional SaaS fees. Instead, the company monetizes through payment processing, an existing cost centre for most businesses. This allows Anchorbase to provide AI-powered capabilities without adding another software subscription or a large implementation fee.
“As AI becomes more sophisticated, there is a massive opportunity for companies to solve critical workflow problems,” said Neil Kapur, Partner at TTV Capital. “Anchorbase has built an agentic AI platform for an underserved segment at exactly the right time, and we believe the company will continue to quickly scale payments and back-office automation for the mid-market.”
Anchorbase’s new funding will support continued product development, deeper integrations with systems of record, expanded customer support, and go-to-market growth across North America. For more information or to request a demo, visit https://www.anchorbase.com/.
