S3 Ep 34 How to Get Paid Faster: Fixing Unpaid Invoices as a Founder

Most founders pour everything into landing the deal and forget the deal isn't done until they actually get paid. In this episode, Katrina Purcell talks with Grace Tabib, Founder and Head of Advocacy at DuePay, about why collections deserve the same rigor as sales, how to chase down unpaid invoices without burning the relationship, and the perfectionism spiral (and 4am breaking point) that nearly derailed her own business. **🎙️ ABOUT THE GUEST** Grace Tabib is the Founder and Head of Advocacy at DUPAY, a subscription-based platform that gives creators, freelancers, agencies, and small businesses lawyer-built contract and invoicing tools, plus unlimited advocacy on unpaid invoices when a client delays, disputes, or ghosts. A Columbia Law graduate with a background in advocacy, supporting women leaders in Asia, food sustainability initiatives in Europe, and unaccompanied minors in California, Grace founded DUPAY in 2023 to bring an affordable, effective solution to the widespread problem of unpaid invoices in the creator economy. Since then, DUPAY has recovered over $1.3M for creators and agencies across 16 countries, with invoices ranging from $47 to $120K.
