Traza was founded by Silvestre Jara Montes, Santiago Martínez Bragado, and Sergio Ayala Miñano, a team with deep roots in supply chain, agentic AI, and enterprise software. Jara Montes worked at Amazon and CMA CGM, one of the world's largest shipping groups, at the intersection of operations strategy and supply-chain optimization. Martínez Bragado built and deployed agentic AI at Clarity AI before joining a16z- and YC-backed Concourse as a founding AI engineer, while Ayala Miñano was a founding engineer at Stack AI, a fast-growing enterprise AI platform. Together they set out to automate the administrative drudgery that surrounds enterprise procurement.
Procurement teams spend enormous amounts of time on low-value but necessary work: chasing vendor documentation, processing purchase requests, onboarding suppliers, reconciling order details, and shepherding approvals across systems. Traza deploys AI 'workers' that take on these tasks, reading documents, populating systems, and moving procurement and supply-chain workflows forward with minimal human intervention. The pitch is that procurement professionals should spend their time on negotiation and strategy, not on copying data between portals.
Traza focuses on the operational back office of procurement and supply chain rather than the strategic sourcing layer, complementing rather than replacing buyers. Its agents are designed to slot into the messy, multi-system reality of enterprise procurement, where information lives across ERPs, supplier portals, emails, and spreadsheets.
In 2026, Traza announced the close of a $2.1 million pre-seed round led by Base10 Partners, with participation from K Fund, a16z scouts, Clara Ventures, Masia Ventures, and a roster of angel investors. The funding supports product development and early enterprise deployments.
As enterprises hunt for concrete, ROI-positive applications of AI agents, Traza is betting that procurement operations — high-volume, rules-bound, and chronically understaffed — are an ideal beachhead for autonomous AI workers.
