About Tim Collins

Background

Crunchbase describes Tim Collins as chief compliance officer of TrueAccord. It lists his earlier roles as General Counsel at Convergent, Director of Compliance and Legal at Hyundai Capital America, and VP of Risk Management and General Counsel at ARS National Services. The profile cites more than twenty years in the accounts receivable management industry.

The same profile says he serves on the ACA International Federal Affairs Committee and teaches a seminar on in-house corporate practice at the University of San Diego Law School. It lists a bachelor's degree in human resources from the Tippie College of Business (1986 to 1990) and a Seattle location.

The JustSolve funding announcement describes him as a former general counsel of Indebted. Crunchbase links this investor profile to JustSolve, but the sources do not say how the Indebted role relates to the roles above.

Angel investing track record

Crunchbase lists one personal investment for Tim Collins, which is the JustSolve pre-seed round. No other angel investments are publicly listed, so there is no wider track record to report. His public profile is that of an operator with domain expertise who invested alongside a lead fund.

Investment focus

With one public investment, a pattern would be speculation. The JustSolve deal was a pre-seed round in AI for credit management and debt collection, a field that matches his career in collections compliance and legal work. He has made no public statements about check size, target stages or geographies, and his check size in JustSolve has not been disclosed.
