B2B

AI infrastructure and AI agent product companies

Teams building AI products or autonomous agents where every API call or token has a real compute cost and usage can spike unpredictably, requiring real-time authorization and metering.

Artificial IntelligenceFounderCTO

Pain points

  • Usage happens in milliseconds but legacy billing syncs on an hourly batch
  • Agents rack up real compute cost before limits engage
  • No real-time balance check or authorization before compute runs

Desired outcomes

  • Authorize and meter every agent action before compute runs
  • Keep usage and payment in one synced ledger
  • Charge per inference, per task, or per autonomous action

SaaS founders and engineering teams launching paid products globally

Sell software and AI globally with payments, usage billing, entitlements, and tax handled in one system without building or operating billing and compliance infrastructure.

FounderCTO

Pain points

  • Separate billing, metering, feature-flag, and tax systems that do not sync
  • Global tax nexus, VAT, and GST liability when selling internationally
  • Hard-coded entitlements where every tier change is a deploy
  • Hourly batch billing that lets usage outrun payment
  • Manual reconciliation of usage to revenue

Desired outcomes

  • Sell globally without opening local entities
  • Offload tax, invoicing, and dispute liability to a Merchant of Record
  • Authorize and meter usage in real time
  • Ship pricing changes without a deploy
  • Automatic reconciliation where revenue equals usage

Developer-tools companies with usage pricing

Developer-tools and API-first companies that monetize tokens, API calls, compute, or seats and need flexible metered and hybrid pricing without writing billing code.

Developer ToolsFounderEngineering Lead

Pain points

  • Hard-coded entitlements where every plan check is an if/else and every tier change is a deploy
  • Unpredictable usage spikes when customers ship new features
  • Building and maintaining metering and credit ledgers in-house

Desired outcomes

  • Ship pricing changes without a deploy
  • Enforce hard caps, soft limits, and credit pools with one SDK call
  • Meter tokens, calls, and compute with exact-once processing

Before · After

Launch global SaaS monetization without building tax ops

Before

Selling globally creates tax, invoice, and refund duties the team must register for and operate region by region.

After

Kelviq becomes the legal seller on record and handles tax collection, remittance, invoicing, refunds, and disputes.

Expected outcome: Global sales without opening local entities or running an in-house tax operation.

What makes this different

Where this offer beats the alternatives.

  • Merchant of Record assumes tax, invoicing, refund, and dispute liability

  • Real-time authorization and metering before compute runs

  • One ledger keeps usage and payment in sync with automatic reconciliation

  • Dynamic entitlements via one SDK call instead of a feature-flag service

  • Typed SDKs and pre-built React components for fast integration

  • Transparent transaction-based pricing with no monthly fee and unlimited seats

Value proposition

Merchant of Record, usage billing, entitlements, and global tax for SaaS and AI companies in one system.

How to pitch

Kelviq is one system for Merchant of Record, usage billing, entitlements, and global tax, built for SaaS and AI companies. Instead of stitching together Stripe, a metering tool, a feature-flag service, and a tax provider, teams ship payments, real-time metering, feature gating, and global tax compliance from one deploy, with Kelviq as the legal seller on record collecting and remitting tax and handling chargebacks. Lead with teams launching global monetization or AI and usage-priced products who need real-time authorization and want to offload tax liability.

Positioning

Kelviq replaces a stitched-together billing stack with one Merchant of Record and monetization platform for SaaS and AI companies, unifying checkout, usage metering, entitlements, global payments, and tax compliance.

Best angles to test

  • Offload global tax liability with Merchant of Record
  • Real-time metering and authorization for AI and agent usage
  • Replace five stitched billing systems with one ledger
  • Localized high-conversion checkout to reduce drop-offs
  • Migrate off Stripe without customers re-entering cards
  • Kelviq is an all-in-one Merchant of Record and monetization platform for SaaS and AI companies
  • Kelviq acts as the legal seller on record and collects and remits VAT, GST, and sales tax
  • Supports subscriptions, usage-based billing, entitlements, and one-time payments side-by-side
  • Real-time usage metering for tokens, API calls, compute units, and seats
  • States support for 135+ currencies and local payment methods (per Kelviq website)
  • Transaction-based pricing: 2.9% + 40¢ up to $5K volume, then 3.5% + 40¢, no monthly fee
  • Typed SDKs for TypeScript, Node, and Python with hosted or headless checkout

Angles to avoid

  • Do not claim guaranteed revenue
  • Do not claim results are typical
  • Do not claim official partnership before founder approval
  • Do not claim Stripe-verified payouts
  • Do not claim managed checkout is ready
  • Do not present the 135+ countries figure as comstein-verified
  • Do not claim guaranteed tax compliance outcomes

Discovery questions

  • Are you selling globally today, and who handles VAT, GST, and sales tax?
  • Do you charge for usage such as tokens, API calls, or compute, and how is it metered?
  • How many separate systems are in your current billing stack?
  • Are you on Stripe today, and is migration a blocker?
  • How fast does usage need to be authorized before compute runs?

Disqualifiers

  • Single-region sellers with one flat plan
  • no usage component
  • and no global tax needs
  • or businesses selling physical goods or offline retail.

Objections & responses

  • Is this just another payment processor?

    Response: A payment processor only helps you accept payments. As Merchant of Record, Kelviq becomes the legal seller on record and holds the tax, invoicing, refund, and dispute liability tied to the sale.

  • Will migrating off Stripe be painful?

    Response: Kelviq states it builds on modern payment rails and can migrate existing Stripe tokens and subscriptions without customers re-entering card details.

  • Is Kelviq mature enough for our revenue stack?

    Response: Kelviq is an early-stage company (founded 2025); recommend a setup call with their engineering team and a scoped pilot, and confirm payout and SLA terms directly before relying on it for critical revenue.

  • Is Kelviq an agent wallet for AI agents to spend money?

    Response: No. Kelviq is how you charge customers for agent usage, not how agents spend money; it meters, gates, and collects for agent actions.
