RecVue, the leader in AI-powered billing and revenue management platforms for complex enterprise monetization, today announced it has completed the acquisition of AiVidens. By acquiring the cash management and collections platform, RecVue will enable enterprises to move beyond simple revenue automation to unify contract governance, billing, collections, revenue compliance, revenue sharing, and liquidity management all within a single revenue operating system.

 

“This acquisition furthers our strategy to close the structural gap between revenue and cash,” said Nishant Nair, Founder and CEO of RecVue. “CFOs today are accountable not only for revenue accuracy, but for liquidity performance and working capital efficiency. With AiVidens, we are extending RevOS to connect commercial activity directly to cash realization.”

 

While tasked with these widening responsibilities, enterprise CFOs struggle with disparate systems and data. Contracts are governed in CRM, billing happens in ERP, collections are done from standalone solutions, and revenue recognition is managed in separate accounting tools and spreadsheets. This fragmentation results in revenue leakage, audit risk, delayed cash realization, and working capital inefficiency.

 

The acquisition of AiVidens will expand the RecVue RevOS platform into a fully unified, AI-powered revenue-to-cash operating model. RevOS can connect contract governance, monetization and billing, receivables and collections, revenue compliance, and third-party revenue sharing within a single, intelligent system. By integrating AI-driven receivables management and predictive payment intelligence, RecVue will seamlessly link commercial activity to financial outcomes — accelerating cash realization, improving liquidity visibility, and transforming monetization into predictable cash performance.

 

“Enterprises face increasing complexity across billing, revenue recognition, and cash management,” said Nair. “One of the critical challenges is turning complex revenue models into predictable liquidity. This acquisition strengthens our ability to help finance teams manage receivables with greater productivity, accelerate cash conversion, reduce bad debt exposure, optimize working capital, and deploy organizational resources more efficiently.”

 

“This marks a significant step forward in redefining how enterprises manage liquidity,” said Edouard Beauvois, Co-founder, AiVidens. “Customers leveraging our AI-driven receivables intelligence achieve, on average, a five-day reduction in DSO and a 20% improvement in collections efficiency. Integrated into RecVue RevOS, this capability transforms reactive collections into predictive cash performance at enterprise scale.”

 

With the acquisition, the AiVidens receivables management solution will be available as a part of RecVue RevOS. The AiVidens team will join RecVue, and RecVue will maintain a new EMEA sales office in Brussels, Belgium.

 

Learn more in the webinar Revenue to Cash: Predictive Liquidity for Enterprise CFOs on April 2.

XBOW, the leader in autonomous offensive security, today announced it has raised $120 million in Series C financing. The round, led by DFJ Growth and Northzone, values the company at over $1 billion.

 

As part of DFJ Growth’s investment, Ramin Sayar, Venture Partner, will join the XBOW Board of Directors. Drawing on his experience as the former CEO of Sumo Logic, he will help the company scale operations and expand in the enterprise market. The round also includes participation from new investors Sofina and Alkeon Capital, as well as existing investors Altimeter, NFDG Ventures, and Sequoia Capital.

 

 

Until now, attackers were constrained by talent. Even the most sophisticated adversaries could not target every system, every version, all the time. With AI, that constraint is gone. Attackers now operate continuously and at scale, probing every release, every environment, and every exposed surface. At the same time, engineering teams are shipping faster than ever. Traditional human-led penetration testing cannot keep pace with AI-driven attackers and modern development cycles.

 

 

“When I founded XBOW in January 2024, few believed AI could truly think like a hacker and operate at machine speed. We proved it. XBOW reached the top of the HackerOne leaderboard and is now deployed at some of the most security-forward companies in the world,” said Oege de Moor, Founder and CEO, XBOW. “Attackers are already using AI. Defenders need to move just as fast. XBOW provides that continuous speed, and this funding enables us to bring it to the entire industry.”

 

 

Cybersecurity Enters the Autonomous Era

 

 

Autonomous offensive security is emerging as the next evolution of security testing. Rather than relying on point-in-time manual pentests, organizations are shifting toward continuous, intelligent coverage that mirrors how modern attackers operate.

 

 

XBOW applies AI reasoning and adversarial workflows modeled on real-world attack techniques to identify and validate vulnerabilities at machine speed. Its platform continuously tests applications, uncovering deep exploits often missed by manual testing, while maintaining a low false-positive rate.

 

 

​​“XBOW was the first to demonstrate how large language models could be applied to offensive security at scale,” said Barry Schuler, Co-founder and Managing Partner, DFJ Growth. “The company didn’t just prove the technology, it also proved market demand. By combining AI reasoning with real-world adversarial expertise, XBOW is bringing the autonomous hacker to life.”

 

 

“XBOW is rapidly emerging as a category leader, with Fortune 500 and global enterprises already relying on the platform as a mission-critical layer in their security stack,” said Sanjot Malhi, Partner, Northzone. “Oege and the team have built an extraordinarily capable AI-driven security platform in a remarkably short time, and we’re thrilled to partner with them as they scale.”

 

 

Proof Achieved. Now Scaling.

 

 

Over the past year, XBOW proved that autonomous systems can operate safely and effectively in live production environments. This investment will accelerate the company’s expansion across enterprise markets, continued product innovation, and international growth.

 

 

From day one, XBOW has paired autonomous systems with some of the world’s top hackers, who help train its autonomous hacker to think like a real adversary. The company was founded by Oege de Moor, creator of GitHub Copilot and GitHub Advanced Security, and built alongside a core group of engineers from the original Copilot team. Chief Information Security Officer Nico Waisman, formerly CISO at Lyft, joined from the outset and has helped shape XBOW’s approach to deploying autonomous systems safely in complex environments. Nico assembled a team of some of the best human hackers in the world to teach the XBOW system its trade.

 

 

The company has further strengthened its leadership by naming Ron Gabrisko to its Board, Jonaki Egenolf as Chief Marketing Officer, Dean Breda as General Counsel, and Niro Rajadurai as Chief Revenue Officer. As part of its global expansion strategy, XBOW also appointed WonLae Lee as General Manager, South Korea, at the beginning of 2026.

 

 

For more information about XBOW’s autonomous offensive security platform, visit xbow.com or stop by booth #1843 at RSAC™ 2026 next week.

Backing Every Business initiative pairs founders with mentorship, grants and AI-powered technology – because no small business owner should build alone.

 

Eva Longoria is ready to be your “business twin;” entrepreneurs worldwide can apply to be mentored directly by her. Applications are open now.

 

Lenovo today launches Backing Every Business, a new global initiative designed to close the support gap facing small businesses. In partnership with actress, entrepreneur and investor Eva Longoria, founders around the world can apply for grant funding, AI-enabled technology and one-to-one mentorship, including from Longoria herself.

 

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260317068350/en/

 

 

 

Small and medium-sized businesses fuel the world’s economy, representing approximately 90% of all businesses, 70% of employees and 50% of global GDP, according to the World Economic Forum. Their impact is anything but small, yet many founders struggle to access the capital, technology and strategic guidance needed to thrive. Backing Every Business aims to change that by combining financial support, meaningful peer connection and cutting-edge AI-powered technology to help founders grow and scale with confidence.

 

 

At the heart of the initiative is a cross-border mentorship program called Twinning which pairs small business owners across industries and geographies for one-to-one collaboration. Grounded in a simple idea — a problem shared is a problem halved — Twinning matches entrepreneurs facing similar challenges, transforming isolation into collaboration and shared momentum. For a select group of participants, that twin will be Eva Longoria herself.

 

 

“Being an entrepreneur is one of the hardest, most daring things you can do,” said Eva Longoria, actress, producer, entrepreneur and Twinning global ambassador. “Every entrepreneur reaches moments where they wish they had someone who truly understands the weight of what they’re building. What I love about Backing Every Business is that it’s built on creating that connection and goes beyond providing technology. It brings people together around the world to share experiences, learn from one another and grow. When entrepreneurs feel supported, entire communities benefit.”

 

 

Longoria, whose business portfolio spans hospitality, media, sports ownership and philanthropy, joins the program as an ambassador and a fellow entrepreneur who understands firsthand the realities of scaling a business. Longoria will serve as a mentor to selected founders, becoming the “anchor twin” in a global network built on shared ambition and lived experience.

 

 

While many small business programs offer funding or networking opportunities, Backing Every Business uniquely combines global peer-to-peer mentorship with hands-on AI enablement. Beyond providing technology, the program will help founders use AI in practical ways that matter – saving time on paperwork, sharpening marketing tactics, understanding customers and making smarter decisions. Lenovo has spent decades building the tools businesses rely on every day and this initiative turns that experience into hands-on support for entrepreneurs who don’t have time to waste.

 

 

Small businesses can apply for the chance to be supported by Lenovo and receive their very own business twin. Selected participants will receive: a $10,000 grant, Lenovo AI-enabled technology, 1:1 mentorship with Eva Longoria and their very own business twin who understands the realities of building a business.

 

 

For founders ready to scale, adapt and grow, the message is simple: you could be Eva Longoria’s business twin.

 

 

Through Backing Every Business, Lenovo is building a global network where entrepreneurs gain the support, perspective and practical tools needed to succeed in an increasingly complex digital economy.

 

 

“With Lenovo, small businesses gain more than technology, they gain a partner who understands and is committed to their resilience, productivity and future. We empower ambition and help build a stronger global community,” said Emily Ketchen, Lenovo’s CMO & SVP for the Intelligent Devices Group and International Sales Markets. “Our Backing Every Business global initiative gives small businesses the tools to tackle an increasingly complex digital world, connections to drive lasting value and opportunities to learn and scale for long term success.”
