Founders and small finance teams shouldn't spend their days chasing invoices, tracking vendor bills, and reconciling payments. But for most startups, that's exactly what cash flow management looks like. Endless email threads. Manual spreadsheets. The nagging anxiety of not knowing when money will arrive or when it's due.

We started Rook because we kept hearing the same story. Talented people at early-stage companies, buried under repetitive financial busy work, unable to focus on actually building their product. A customer invoice gets sent, then lost in someone's inbox. The payment arrives weeks late. Meanwhile vendor bills pile up and you're manually tracking what's due when in a spreadsheet.

There's a better way.

We're launching early access

After months of building with a small group of finance teams, we're ready to open things up. Rook is now in early access. The product works. It's handling real invoices and real payments. But it's still rough around the edges, and that's the point.

We're not doing a polished launch with a predetermined roadmap. We're building this with you. Your feedback shapes what we build next. The workflows that make sense to you become the defaults for everyone else. The pain points you hit get fixed first.

You'll have direct access to our team. When something breaks or doesn't make sense, you talk to the people writing the code. We're small enough that every user matters and every piece of feedback gets read.

This is the phase where you have the most influence. Before patterns solidify. Before assumptions become architecture. Before we think we know how this should work.

What Rook does

Rook manages your entire cash flow picture so you can focus on growing your business.

Upload a contract and we'll extract the payment terms, billing schedule, and key details. Need to get it signed? We'll help with that too. Once it's signed, we automatically generate invoices based on the billing schedule. No more manual invoice creation.

Forward us your customer invoices and we'll handle collections. We send reminders, make payment easy with one-click links, and automatically match every payment that comes in. Upload your vendor contracts and bills, and we'll track what you owe, when it's due, and remind you about early payment discounts you might miss.

Everything happens over email. You forward documents to us. We send you weekly digests of what needs attention. You reply to take action. No dashboard to log into daily. No ERP to integrate. No developer required.

We built this for startups that run on email, spreadsheets, and Stripe. Not enterprises with NetSuite. You can get started in hours, not weeks. The product adapts to how you work, not the other way around.

Stop chasing invoices. Start getting paid.

Forward a contract. Rook handles the rest.
