C2FO Working Capital Platform

1. Technology overview

C2FO is a working capital platform operated by Pollen, Inc., with its mailing address in Kansas City, Missouri, and founded by Alexander Kemper with a mission dating to 2008. It helps large buyers and their suppliers unlock cash tied up in approved invoices, giving small and mid-sized suppliers faster, cheaper access to liquidity without traditional loans.

Suppliers use C2FO Early Pay to choose invoices, discount rates and payment dates, while buyers run dynamic discounting and dynamic supply chain finance programs funded from their own cash or third-party capital. Additional tools include FinanceIQ receivables analytics, Lending Connections referrals and Working Capital Navigator for buyers. The network covers 1.75 million+ businesses in 160+ countries, with buyers such as The Home Depot, Costco, Philips, Mondelez and HPE, and a supply chain finance collaboration with IFC.
