# Spaceflow

> Spaceflow is a San Francisco startup (Y Combinator S26) that makes enterprises 'agent-native.' Instead of selling companies another dashboard, it turns the systems they already run - ERP, email, spreadsheets - into a 'company brain' that AI employees and any MCP agent can read and operate securely, with a human keeping the final say. It starts with procurement and supply chain, where it has processed roughly $400M in annual supplier spend and reached six-figure ARR while in early stage.

## Products & services

- **Agent-native enterprise platform** — Deploys inside the customer's network to Connect (read-only integration), Learn (maps existing tables, pricing, approval flows) and Work (AI agents run workflows end to end with human approval gates). Runs on-premise, private cloud or sovereign infrastructure.
- **Company brain** — Turns ERP, email and spreadsheets into a structured layer that AI employees and any MCP-compatible agent can securely query and act on.
- **Governance gateway** — Immutable audit logging, identity passthrough (agents act as the requesting person) and human approval gates so AI actions stay controlled and traceable.
- **Procurement action library** — 285 procurement actions exposed as open, API-first endpoints, enabling AI-driven RFQs, supplier management and spend control.
- **AI employees** — Agents that start in 'shadow mode' to learn a company's processes before earning autonomy, then handle operational workflows such as RFQ cycles end to end.
