Vendra

We are building an AI-native manufacturing marketplace, transforming how the best companies get custom parts manufactured in the U.S. There aren’t many early stage companies where you’ll get work with industry titans like Apple, Anduril and NASA, solving their critical production challenges, but you will at Vendra. We accelerate lead times, de-risk supply chains, and on-shore production, especially across aerospace, defense, and other critical industries.

Our vision is to become the only resource a hardware company ever turns to when they need hardware manufactured. We’re backed by Y Combinator and top investors, and we’re building a team to ship fast and solve hard problems as we continue to scale fast.
