AI Workforce for Distributors and Manufacturers

YC W26

About the Company

Ventura builds the AI workforce for distributors and manufacturers, starting with quoting and order entry. It plugs into your existing ERP, follows your SOPs, and learns your team's tribal knowledge - getting smarter with every completed task.

Swen (CEO) — Advised steel, cement, and industrial machinery manufacturers as a consultant at BCG, then co-founded and exited a process automation platform for European wholesale distributors. While doing his MBA at Harvard, he embedded with a $2bn distributor to build their AI sales automation from scratch. That became Ventura.

Jack (CTO) — Has been building with AI Language Models since before they became large. Founding Engineer at Develop Health, where he automated back-office operations in healthcare with AI - the same class of problems we're solving for distributors. The company scaled from zero to $7M ARR in 14 months with a team of 5.
