What SalesPatriot does

SalesPatriot is a back-office operating system for distributors and OEMS. We build custom AI workflows for sales and supply chain teams to manage procurement, requests for quote and purchase orders. In large orgs that operate as key nodes of the supply chain data is scattered across twelve systems. Quotes get lost and Executives lack visibility. Supply chain workflows are time consuming because data isn't where it needs to be in the format it needs to be. Employees are stuck between their email, ERP, CRM, marketplaces, and spreadsheets instead of winning business and protecting margin.

AI powered operating system for distributors and OEMs

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

We build a back-office operating system tailored for distributors and OEMs. Our product uses AI to unify data scattered across email, ERP, CRM, marketplaces, and spreadsheets into workflows that handle procurement, requests for quote, and purchase orders. This saves sales and supply chain teams hours spent hunting for information and helps executives get clear visibility.

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

We all live in San Francisco, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is where our team is already located and where our target customers are concentrated. Staying here keeps us close to industry hubs and potential early adopters.
