Hotels sell escape, then reconcile the invoices. BirchStreet built the unglamorous operating layer behind 8,489 hospitality locations - and its most useful lesson is that automation only works when suppliers, data and people arrive together.
The Procurement Platform Built for Enterprises and Suppliers Across Malaysia
Pavilion (formerly CoProcure) is a San Francisco-based govtech company building the marketplace for public procurement. It lets state, local, and education agencies find and reuse contracts that other public entities have already competitively bid and awarded - a practice called cooperative purchasing or 'piggybacking' - so buyers skip months of paperwork and vendors sell more using contracts they already won. The platform is free for governments, and layers vendor search, smart intake routing, compliance guidance, and an AI Contract Hub on top of a repository of tens of thousands of shareable public contracts.
