Orderful is a modern, cloud-based EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) platform that connects supply chains. It replaces the slow, point-to-point EDI integrations that have governed B2B commerce for decades with a single API connection, web tooling, and an AI-native engine (Mosaic) that interprets and transforms trading-partner data automatically. More than 400 companies - including Liquid Death, Caraway, NFI, Hirschbach, Pabst, and Koch Industries - use Orderful to onboard partners in days instead of months and to process orders, invoices, and shipping documents in real time.
Crstl is a San Francisco-based, AI-native EDI and agentic B2B commerce network that connects brands, retailers, and logistics providers from order to payment. Its platform replaces the legacy, error-prone world of electronic data interchange with no-code integrations and an always-on AI agent named Edison that processes purchase orders, generates ASNs and invoices, and keeps merchants compliant with big-box retailers like Walmart, Target, and Whole Foods - so direct-to-consumer brands can scale into wholesale, marketplaces, and omnichannel retail without an EDI team.
Dipti Desai is the co-founder and CEO of Crstl, a San Francisco startup rebuilding B2B commerce around the decades-old EDI standard that quietly governs how brands sell to retailers. A Virginia Tech electrical engineer and Uber data-platform veteran, she stumbled into the problem while volunteering to sell PPE online during the pandemic and discovering that the plumbing of wholesale was stuck in the 1980s. She has raised over $10 million from Target, Shopify Ventures, Cohen Circle, and Village Global to make EDI usable by people who are not developers.
