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.
Parspec
Parspec is an AI-native software platform that automates product selection, quoting, and submittal preparation for distributors and sales agents in the construction supply chain. Founded in 2021 by Stanford researchers Forest Flager and Pratyush Havelia, the company indexes millions of manufacturer product documents and turns hours of manual paperwork into minutes. It has raised $31.5M to date and counts four of the five largest U.S. electrical distributors among its customers.
