We used to placethe orders ourselves.So we rebuilt the route.
Sourcerer began inside a distribution business, chasing quotes across time zones and paying deposits on goods we'd never seen. Today it moves millions of dollars in orders a month, with an agent on every one.
The incumbents added software to the old process.We replaced the process.

The first container.
We brokered import orders: masks and PPE, then whatever a customer needed next. Quotes by email, deposits by wire, inspections when someone remembered.

Everything late.
Freight rates tripled, lead times doubled, and every missed container cost us. The problem wasn't any one order. It was that every buyer was negotiating alone.

Back to the problem.
We asked distributors what still hurt. Same answer every time: deposits, delays, no one to call. So we designed Sourcerer to be the supplier, not another tool.

Sourcerer launches.
a16z Speedrun backed us. The first pooled orders shipped, and the first agents took over reading specs and reconciling documents. By year end, every order ran through them.

The autonomous supply chain.
Seed round closed. Agents on every order, pooled runs across customers, millions of dollars in orders a month.
Help us writethe next chapter.
The autonomous supply chain will come to be. We see it as a necessity — for the American supply chain first, and for the world. Today the supply chain is more fragmented than it has ever been, and that fragmentation is the opening: for the first time in history, we have the chance to build one system that moves the physical world the way it should have always moved. We're building it. Come write it with us.
