About Upflow
Getting paid effectively remains a significant problem for non-tech B2B businesses in Europe. At Upflow,
we're on a mission to help our customers save time and money getting
paid and gain deep insights into their customer exposure. We're creating
a fully fledged payment platform from scratch and we aim to become the
industry standard for B2B payments. Think Stripe but for traditional
(non-tech) businesses. It's an incredibly complex and multi-faceted
problem, which remains largely unsolved today.
