Endeavor
Endeavor is a San Francisco AI company building agentic software for the back office of American manufacturers and distributors. Its AI agents read the messy inputs these businesses actually run on - emails, PDFs, spreadsheets, phone calls - and turn them into automated order entry, quoting, accounts payable, and supply chain work inside existing ERP systems. Founded in 2023 by Wharton graduate Sahitya (Sami) Senapathy and backed by a $7M seed led by Craft Ventures, Endeavor counts industrial names like ClarkDietrich, Menasha, Viking, and Bridgestone Americas among its customers.
