ProcureYard, a Gurugram and Bengaluru-based AI-driven B2B raw materials procurement platform, has raised $1.72 million in its seed funding round led by Powerhouse Ventures.
The round also saw participation from Java Capital, 2am VC, well known angels Abhishek Goyal (co-founder of Tracxn) and Rajesh Sawhney (founder of GSF).
The funds raised will be strategically directed towards product development and working capital management. ProcureYard plans to leverage its custom-built conversational AI platform which drove success in metals and replicate it to other raw materials. ProcureYard also plans to increase its market presence with its supply chain solutions.
