Billtrust is a cloud-based fintech that automates the entire order-to-cash and invoice-to-cash cycle for B2B businesses - credit decisioning, online ordering, invoice delivery, payments, cash application, and collections. Founded in 2001 by Flint Lane, it went public via SPAC in 2021 (Nasdaq: BTRS) and was taken private by EQT in late 2022 for about $1.7 billion. Its Business Payments Network connects buyers, suppliers, and banks to move trillions in B2B payments with far less manual work.
Grant Halloran is the Chief Executive Officer of Billtrust, the B2B accounts receivable workflow and payments company. He stepped into the role in December 2025 after a multi-year run as CEO of Planful, where he tripled revenue and doubled both the customer base and headcount. A 25-year enterprise software operator, he has held senior roles at Anaplan, Infor, Heavy.ai (formerly OmniSci / MapD), and co-founded the SaaS marketing platform Orbis with his brother in Australia in the late 1990s.
Eli Chait is the Co-Founder and CEO of Wholesail, a San Francisco-based B2B payment risk management platform modernizing accounts receivable for food and beverage distributors. His origin story is unusually grounded: at age 12, he was entering invoices for his father's restaurant in Los Angeles. That early hands-on encounter with the pain of paper-based B2B trade became the north star for his entire career - from co-founding Copilot (a restaurant analytics startup acquired by OpenTable) to leading Wholesail through a $22.6M Series A. With a team of repeat entrepreneurs forged at OpenTable, Wholesail is building the credit and payments network for the $1+ trillion US food distribution market.
