As a recent alumni of @hf0, these guys perfected a recipe to grow unbelievably fast, and remove all outside noise.

bad day to be an unfortified supply chain

We led Tenkara’s $7M round to bring ops agents to U.S. manufacturers. When we first met Ben Stern, his lived experience was obvious. As he puts it: "Ten years ago I was building factories. Today I'm building the tools I wish I had inside them." Manufacturing has an infrastructure problem. Tenkara is building the ops layer that lets small procurement teams operate with the scale and efficiency of much larger organizations — automating supplier discovery, procurement, compliance, and logistics. As domestic manufacturing becomes increasingly important, this kind of infrastructure becomes foundational. Huge congrats to the @TenkaraAI team on this next chapter. #AI #Manufacturing #SupplyChain #Startups #VentureCapital #Automation

To our investors, early customers, and everyone who took a bet on us early, thank you.

America's supply chains are under more pressure than they've been in decades. These small businesses move the physical economy, employ millions, and produce the goods the world depends on. It's time they had the operational firepower to match.

Mid-market manufacturers have never had the tooling to match their ambition. @TenkaraAI changes that — aggregating supplier data, deploying AI agents, and turning days-long quoting into minutes. Our Co-founder Phil Black shares more. trueventures.com/blog/why-we…

We turned our booth @NatProdExpo West into a speakeasy. Pull back the curtain and there's a small movie theater inside. We showed manufacturers what their back office looks like when it runs on Tenkara. Was a fun few days in Anaheim!

I'm hosting a supply chain kickback @hf0 March 10th. If you're fascinated by how stuff gets made, or building something in the space, come through. partiful.com/e/JaQkkxVVQ4JOv…

We're at @NatProdExpo West. Booth 3899C, Hall D. Step into our speakeasy and discover the madness we're up to.

Swooped by a supply chain conference, Manifest, last minute. We had zero prep time, so grabbed a @Tesla Cybertruck and a chalkboard. Both the truck (and chalkboard!) go to qualified manufacturers who sign up by end of March with us. Message us to learn more!

New manufacturer went live today with @TenkaraAI. Never thought I’d see this, but the lady running things teared up when she saw it work. Tears of relief

One of the most impactful and fastest growing startups in the supply chain space I’ve seen (0->1m rev in a quarter, growing to 3m this quarter and 12m by EoY)…
