An AI that chases your overdue invoices by phone, text, and email in sixty languages — sold to pest control companies and gyms.
Interval AI
venture active confidence: Medium status: Draft updated 2026-08-13
Summary
Interval AI is a small Lehi company automating overdue-balance calls, texts, and emails in 60+ languages for service businesses. The execution may be strong, but collections software is crowded, switching costs are low, and the ceiling is a solid vertical SaaS company rather than a new market.
Impact
The real thing Interval is testing is not collections; it is whether a two-to-five person team can build and sell a product that previously needed a call center behind it. Its own marketing leans on that: outreach that "adapts to each customer," a claimed 31-day reduction in time to payment, and testimonials citing $80k recovered and $8,000 a month in payroll saved. If those hold up, the displacement is real but bounded — money that already existed moves sooner, and a category of low-wage phone work shrinks. That second effect is worth naming plainly rather than counting only the vendor's side of it.
The bounds are tight in both directions. The upside case is a durable SMB vertical SaaS business; the downside is that agentic collections outreach is exactly the capability that regulators and consumers police hardest, and a compliance failure in debt collection is a legal problem, not a churn problem. The company appears to know this — compliance and relationship preservation are foregrounded in its own positioning. Either way, close substitutes exist today, several of them better capitalized, which is what fixes the letter rather than the team's ability.
Bet: that an AI-native team can reach meaningful software revenue without the headcount SaaS growth historically required, and that vertical depth in unglamorous service industries beats horizontal AR platforms selling to finance departments.
What They Are Building
The product runs collections outreach end to end — voice calls, SMS, and email — with timing and message adapted per customer and support for more than 60 languages, positioned as recovering revenue without damaging the customer relationship. Named customers on the company's site span the service verticals it targets: Legion Pest Control, Saela Pest Control, Glide Cleaners, Bamboo Services, Paramount Acceptance, Orangetheory Fitness, Tropicana West Chiropractic, Naumann Hobbs, and the law firm Davis Wojcik. The site also claims more than $2.485 billion collected, a figure that reads as the team's cumulative collections experience rather than product throughput and should not be repeated as company revenue or volume.
What They Need Now
The official jobs board has listed a full-cycle sales representative in Lehi with more roles described as forthcoming, and recent direct recruiting sought engineers for a two-person engineering organization plus a short product and site design engagement. Durable fit therefore spans software engineers comfortable with very high ownership, full-cycle sales, and occasional product design. Work is in person in Lehi; candidates should check which opening is actually live on the board.
Utah Context
Interval is a Utah student-founder story running through the state's own pipeline: CEO and co-founder Brandon Davis came out of BYU's Sandbox program, and the company is backed by Lehi-based Philo Ventures through its $3 million Sandbox Fund, alongside other Sandbox alumni companies. It recruits for in-person work in Lehi, making it a direct early-stage path for local engineers and commercially minded builders who want ownership rather than a seat at a Silicon Slopes incumbent.

Open Questions
- Can the reported $1M ARR and the team size be corroborated through a durable public source? Both remain self-reported.
- Is engineering hiring still open even though the public board shows only sales?
- What share of the named customers are paying accounts versus pilots, and is the $2.485 billion figure the team's prior experience or something the product has touched? The site does not distinguish.
- How does the product handle FDCPA and TCPA constraints on automated collections outreach, and does it operate as a first-party tool for the creditor rather than a third-party debt collector? This is the regulatory question that most affects the downside bound.
