The financial layer for the businesses that run the real world.

Triceratops exists to close the gap between "job done" and "money in the bank" — with payments infrastructure and an AI agent that never forgets to follow up.

Getting paid should be infrastructure.

Small businesses power the real economy, then spend nights chasing money they've already earned. The tools on offer are enterprise software priced for finance departments, or collection agencies that take up to half and burn the relationship. We're building the third option — and making it the default.

Operating principles

How we build, in four rules.

01 · MONEY FIRST

Start at the payment, work outward

Not another workflow app with a checkout bolted on. Invoicing, recurring billing, and settlement are the core — everything else earns its way in.

02 · POLITE & RELENTLESS

Firm enough to work, warm enough to keep the customer

The agent behaves like your best office manager on their best day — every day. You approve the voice once; it handles the awkward part forever.

03 · BORING WHERE IT COUNTS

Payments reward paranoia

Raw card numbers never touch our servers. Consent is recorded. Opt-outs are instant. Quiet hours are enforced in the scheduler, not the handbook.

04 · BUILD IN THE OPEN

Real numbers over rented testimonials

Our build log is public. Founding-cohort results — days-to-payment, collection rates — publish as they land. If it works, you'll see it work.

The thesis

Built for the agent era.

Within a few years, your customers' AI assistants will discover services, compare offers, and pay bills on their behalf. The card networks and the largest platforms are writing those protocols right now.

Most business software will need rebuilding for that world. Triceratops won't — every invoice is machine-readable, every offer is structured, and the whole platform is API-first by design. Businesses on Triceratops will be first in line to get paid by machines, the way they're first in line to get paid by people today.
