Legal tech platform Oddr has raised $2 million in a seed round led by Saama Capital and Twin Ventures. The round also saw participation from angels in the US, Singapore, and Germany. The Company which is based in Silicon Valley and India is gearing up to launch its services in North America, the UK and the Australian market with an R&D center to be set up in India.
Oddr is currently in a team expansion mode in India and has also announced the senior key hire, Eric Newman, as Chief Architect. The Funds raised will be used to build the flagship product – an AI-powered invoice-to-cash platform – for Professional Services (Law firms, Accounting firms, Consulting firms & Financial services firms). Oddr aims to automate the billing process, which is primarily manual today, leading to invoice delays, higher write-offs, payment delays, and high overhead costs for collections for professional services firms.
Milan Bobde, Co-founder CEO, Oddr, says, “We are aiming to solve a big problem for the professional services sector globally. Invoice to Cash process in professional services firms today is manual, fragmented, and cumbersome resulting in high Days Sales Outstanding (DSO), high write-offs, and painfully high operating overheads. This space is ripe for disruption through innovation. Oddr is the first industry cloud platform that unifies Billing, Collections, and Payments in a single platform. Oddr helps firms streamline the invoice to cash processes through AI, automation, and data-driven approach.” Our aim is to touch an ARR of $1 million in the next 18 – 24 months as we enter international markets, he adds.
To accelerate MVP and customer acquisition, Oddr has entered into a strategic partnership with key industry product companies in the professional services vertical. Oddr has also multiple clients committed to building and running the MVP with an aim to achieve PMF in the next 2 quarters.
