John Banner — Founder & CEO, AgentCollect

John Banner leads AgentCollect to replace the broken collection agency model with AI. A Y Combinator (S23) company based in San Francisco, AgentCollect deploys one AI agent per account — handling calls, emails, SMS, and attorney escalation. Agents work under your brand.

Why AgentCollect exists

Before founding AgentCollect, John spent years in enterprise software where he saw the collection industry firsthand. The numbers were staggering: a single human collector handling 250+ accounts simultaneously, most of which were simply ignored. Outreach was generic, timing was arbitrary, and the customer experience ranged from impersonal to hostile.

The core insight was simple: if one human can only meaningfully engage with a handful of accounts per day, why not build an AI agent for every single account? Each agent researches the company, identifies the right contact, chooses the optimal channel and timing, and follows up persistently — all under the client's own brand.

Respectful recovery at scale

AgentCollect was built on the belief that collection doesn't have to be adversarial. Every AI agent operates under the client's brand, communicates in a professional tone, and resolves disputes in real time. Customers can pay instantly, set up installment plans, or raise disputes — all without waiting for a human.

The platform combines voice calls, email sequences, SMS outreach, and attorney-backed legal notices into a single automated workflow. No manual intervention required. Clients upload a file and the system handles everything from contact discovery to payment collection.
