Vendra

Procurement software for manufacturers

Vendra makes AI-native software that runs procurement and supply chain for manufacturers, aimed at the stage of hardware development where teams must find suppliers, get quotes and place orders. Its customers are aerospace, defense, robotics and advanced manufacturing companies, including teams at Anduril, Mach Industries and Relativity Space, and Apple was the first. More than seven figures of transactions now pass through the platform each month. The founders spent six months making productivity tools for hardware teams before concluding that supplier discovery, quoting and procurement were the real bottleneck, and launched Vendra within two weeks of that insight. The company designs both its product and its internal systems so that a small team can handle far more work.
