Tim Spencer
Tim Spencer is the co-founder and CEO of Didero, a New York company building agentic AI that sits on top of enterprise ERP systems and automates the email-and-phone-call grind of global procurement. He got the idea running Markai, an e-commerce startup he operated across Asia during the pandemic and sold in 2023, where thousands of suppliers and dozens of countries taught him how much of global trade still runs on people manually chasing purchase orders. He founded Didero in December 2023 with McKinsey procurement veteran Lorenz Pallhuber and engineer Tom Petit, and in early 2026 raised a $30 million Series A co-led by Chemistry and Headline, with Microsoft's M12 participating.
Tom Petit
Tom Petit is the co-founder and CEO of Didero, a New York company building an agentic AI procurement platform that sits on top of a manufacturer's existing systems and quietly does the routine work of running a supply chain. A Belgian who came of age in Texas, he trained in computational mathematics at Stanford and Cambridge, did data science at Airbnb and HelloFresh, and co-founded the real-estate fintech Landis before turning to the unglamorous world of purchase orders and supplier emails. In February 2026 Didero raised a $30M Series A co-led by Chemistry and Headline, with Microsoft's M12 participating, bringing total funding to roughly $37M.
