Spresso.AI is a New York-based enterprise SaaS company that uses AI, machine learning and reinforcement learning to help retailers, brands and CPG companies set profit-maximizing prices at the SKU level. Spun out of the online wholesaler Boxed, Spresso packages its Pricing Intelligence, Enterprise Commerce Suite and Spend Management tools into a modular platform that continuously tests price points and allocates customer traffic toward the most profitable one. Led by CEO Jared Yaman and backed by funds and accounts managed by BlackRock, the company serves roughly 15 enterprise customers, including AEON Group and Fortune 500 brands.
