Burnt is a Y Combinator S25 startup building an agentic operating system for the food supply chain that deploys AI agents directly into legacy ERP systems. Its first agent, Ozai, automates order management by monitoring communication channels such as email, phone, text, WhatsApp, and fax, and entering orders into existing systems without requiring infrastructure replacement. In September 2025 the company raised a $3.8M seed round led by Penny Jar Capital, the venture firm backed by NBA star Steph Curry. Burnt is based in San Francisco and founded by multi-generational food supply-chain entrepreneurs.
