Traza Raises $2.1 Million to Automate Procurement with AI Agents
New York-based startup Traza has secured $2.1 million in pre-seed funding led by Base10 Partners, with participation from Kfund, a16z scouts, Clara Ventures, Masia Ventures, and angel investors including Pepe Agell. The company aims to revolutionize the procurement sector by deploying autonomous AI agents that execute tasks such as vendor outreach, request-for-quote generation, order tracking, and invoice processing without continuous human supervision. Unlike traditional procurement software that offers recommendations, Traza’s technology actively manages operations to address post-signature value leakage, which research indicates causes organizations to lose an average of 11% of total contract value. By automating the operational layer often neglected in large enterprises, Traza claims to reduce human hours spent on procurement tasks by 70% and accelerate procurement cycles threefold. This funding supports their mission to rebuild how procurement works, targeting the underserved market where billions of dollars flow through inefficient manual processes like emails and spreadsheets.
