What Pollinate does

Supply chains still run on spreadsheets and inboxes because ERPs are rigid and the data is messy. We're solving this problem by building an ontology where agents can operate and provide outcomes for our customers. We start with procurement, by automating three-way match: extracting supplier invoices from email and matching them to the correct PO and receipt across ERPs. Learn more at pollinate.tech

AI Agents for the supply chain

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build AI agents that automate messy supply chain workflows starting with procurement. Our first product extracts supplier invoices from email, then matches them to purchase orders and receipts across ERPs to complete the three-way match automatically. This cuts down manual reconciliation and speeds procurement processes for supply chain teams who still rely on spreadsheets and inboxes.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco has the right talent pool, network, and proximity to our customers and partners in supply chain and logistics. Being here helps us move fast and recruit.

Is this the real Pollinate YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Pollinate's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Pollinate would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
