Comena Is Hiring Engineering and GTM Roles to Automate Industrial Order Entry
Comena is building AI agents designed to automate order entry for industrial distributors and manufacturers, taking order processing directly from email inboxes into enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. The Y Combinator S25 startup targets a major workflow bottleneck across industrial supply chains in the US and Germany, where roughly 4 million sales and procurement professionals spend their days transferring data between inbox workflows and ERP platforms.
Founder Backgrounds and Technical Stack
The company was co-founded by CEO Jiehua Wu and CTO Almo Sutedjo, who both earned their computer science degrees from Technical University of Munich. Before founding Comena, Wu was the first sales hire at procurement platform askLio (YC S23), a product manager at Pina Earth (YC W22), and a software engineer at Google in Switzerland. Sutedjo was previously the first hire at Leaping AI (YC W25) and worked as a software engineer at Amazon AWS, HubSpot, and Microsoft, where he integrated Azure Web Services into the OpenAI SDK.
Comena builds its software platform on a core technology stack of Python, TypeScript, and Postgres.
