Building Autonomous accounts receivable that actually works I Enginears Podcast

About this episode

Mek discusses the engineering challenges and leadership principles behind building an AI-native accounts receivable business at Stuut.

This week I'm joined by Mek, who is VP of Engineering at Stuut, a Series A-backed A16Z business in New York. We're going to be diving into the AI-native world of accounts receivable. In Feb 2026, Stuut passed a monumental feat in processing a billion dollars in transactions for their customers. Mek joins us to discuss what they're building, some of their engineering challenges, and bringing some of his leadership principles to building an AI-native business and what we can learn from the team at this moment in time. Who are Stuut, who are they building for and why? The journey from $0-$1B and Stuut -> Stuut 2.0 Taking engineering principals from growth journeys w/ GitLab and VMWare to what shipping looks like now. A day in the life of an engineer today and what "high agency" should look like. Building in an AI-native company How and who they are growing with? If you're keen to share your story, please reach out to us!
