Didero, an emerging AI-driven procurement software company based in New York, has raised $30 million in Series A funding to accelerate its mission of modernizing enterprise supply chain operations. The investment round was co-led by Chemistry and Headline, while M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund, also joined as a key participant. With this funding, Didero plans to enhance its platform capabilities and broaden its market reach as more manufacturers and distributors seek smarter ways to streamline procurement.
As global trade becomes more complicated, procurement teams often struggle with outdated tools and heavily manual processes. Many organizations still rely on a patchwork of emails, spreadsheets, and legacy ERP systems to manage supplier relationships and purchase workflows. Because of this, procurement professionals spend significant time resolving exceptions, tracking orders, and responding to constant back-and-forth communication.

“Procurement teams are being asked to manage increasingly complex supply chains with tools that were never designed for the pace or scale of today’s trade,” said Tim Spencer, Co-founder and CEO of Didero. “Didero’s AI agents handle the day-to-day operational work of procurement, allowing teams to spend less time chasing emails and exceptions and more time focusing on strategic decisions.”
To address these challenges, Didero embeds AI agents directly into the systems companies already use. These agents build real-time understanding around product catalogs, pricing structures, supplier policies, and historical purchasing data. As a result, they can quickly take over core operational workflows such as supplier communication, order monitoring, and issue resolution often within just a few weeks of deployment.
“Procurement has long been weighed down by repetitive, high-friction work that has proven difficult to automate at scale,” said Kristina Shen, Managing Partner at Chemistry. “Didero applies AI agents directly to that operational layer in a way that materially changes how supply chain teams work and what they can achieve. We believe this will become core infrastructure for companies that need to move faster, operate with more visibility, and adapt to increasingly complex global trade.”
Investors have shown strong confidence in Didero’s rapid execution and customer traction.
“Didero is delivering efficiency gains and cost reductions for manufacturers and distributors, all with minimal implementation overhead. That value proposition is really changing how operators in more industrial industries see AI helping their businesses,” said Taylor Brandt, Partner at Headline. “We haven’t seen many AI-native supply chain players with as many deployments or such exceptional customer feedback, which made this feel like a turning point for a once in a multi decade transformation.”

Additionally, Didero’s integration-first strategy aligns closely with Microsoft’s enterprise ecosystem.
“Agentic AI unlocks a new level of automation and efficiency in procurement that simply wasn’t possible with older technologies, and Didero is uniquely positioned to deliver that impact at scale,” said Cheryl Cheng, Managing Partner at M12, Microsoft’s Venture Fund. “With Microsoft’s large footprint of manufacturing customers, we see our relationship with Didero as a way to streamline procurement workflows that offer high strategic value.”
Looking ahead, Didero is expanding its engineering, customer enablement, and go-to-market teams. The company also intends to extend its platform beyond procurement into related areas such as sourcing and payments.
Founded in late 2023, Didero has already deployed its solution with more than 30 customers.
“Didero’s AI agents were autonomously executing mission-critical procurement tasks for us within weeks,” said Stephen Sharr, VP of Procurement, Logistics and Contract Manufacturing at Footprint. “I’ve deployed a lot of software over my career, and I’ve never seen anything like the speed or impact of this.”
