Agentic supply chain platform Corvera raises $4.2M seed round
Corvera, the agentic supply chain management platform, has announced it has raised $4.2 million (£3 million) in seed funding, to help accelerate its expansion and automate end-to-end operational workflows for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands.
The funding round was led by 6 Degrees Capital, with participation from over 20 venture capital and angel investors. The raise follows Corvera’s participation in Y Combinator’s Winter 2026 cohort, where is also received backing from alumni founders. Investor confidence in the platform reflects a broader shift toward AI-native operational tooling across the global CPG sector, which was almost $5.5 trillion in 2024, and is projected to reach $7 trillion by 2033.
After witnessing agentic developments across other industries, Corvera was founded to empower CPG brands whose workflows remain manual, fragmented, and inefficient. The platform solves these issues by sitting on top of existing solutions and ERP systems, giving AI agents the autonomy to execute tasks that would usually be undertaken by a human. This means orders get recorded, sent to fulfilment, and invoiced, all automatically, from inbox to delivery confirmation. The result is faster decision-making, improved margins, and reduced operational overhead. By offloading responsibilities to agents, brands can spend more time building their business while retaining and benefitting from live visibility of their financial performance, cashflow, and logistics.
“Everyday CPG brands spend countless hours on back-office workflows that could otherwise be handled autonomously and flawlessly by AI agents. We’re here to make this a reality, enabling brands to invest more time into what truly makes them special and valuable,” said Christopher Kong, Co-Founder and CEO, Corvera. “Our objective isn’t to replace existing tools or force our customers to ‘lift-and-shift’ systems. Instead, we act as the bridge between various systems and automate the manual work required to operate them. By reducing the reliance on human middleware, we enable more resilient, proactive supply chains with fewer errors and better service levels.”
The company is led by CEO Chris Kong, who previously built Better Nature into one of Europe’s leading tempeh brands, scaling distribution to 5,000 stores before stepping back in 2025 and earning a place on Forbes ‘30 Under 30’ Europe 2025 list. He is joined by CTO Dirk Breeuwer, former head of data and AI at Google; CPO Matthew Collins, former Head of Product at Rosemark (successor to Rosetta, acquired by Publicis for $575 million); and Founding Engineer Berk Güngör, an AI and machine learning specialist.
