💥 Ameba raises a $7.1M #Seed round - one of Europe’s top #b2b #saas financing rounds in 2024! 💥 It is incredibly exciting to see the impact Ameba is already having on our customers' #supplychain across the #consumergoods #retail #fashion #textiles and #cpg sectors. However, I am equally excited about the absolute superstar team we’re building and the brainpower we’ve assembled to revolutionise #buying, #merchandising, #logistics and #planning from the ground up. A huge word of appreciation goes out to our founding team Sravya Bhamidipati, Gavin McQuaid, Fionn O'Connell, and Greg Wallace without whom we would have never reached this milestone! Another big shout out goes out to all our new-joiners Cesar Kawakami, Shylla Estee Pramadhani, and Chloe Gale who came onboard to help us take Ameba to the next level. Last but not least, a big shoutout to our investors and Ameba’s extended team Sarra Zayani, Putt Rodchareon and Ivana Dominkovic from Hedosophia, Isabella Yamamoto from Visionaries Club, Annelie Ajami from Anamcara , and Mike Phillips and Jonny Clifford from Entrepreneur First! Thank you all for your trust in us founders, the team and most importantly your excitement for our vision of building the world’s first self-updating source of truth for supply chains. Craig Massie and I didn’t start Ameba to opportunistically capture a gap in the market. Rather, Ameba is the natural result of my past 8+ years working as a supply chain manager. Every customer call reminds me of my previous life as an operator, and the pain points I keep hearing are exactly the same struggles me and the incredible supply chain team at VALOREO (acquired by Razor Group) encountered when building one of Latin America’s largest consumer brand holdings. Ameba is the software I truly wished we had by our side when managing this ballooning operation - and for every feature we are building I keep asking myself “would I’ve used this in my previous life?”. A special thanks also goes out to Margot Vitale and Robert Alner who believed in and partnered with us when we had nothing more than just a PowerPoint presentation. Also, I want to recognise Raul Portela da Cunha, Adi Zukerman, and Nigel Issa who’ve been incredible advisors and sparring partners since the very early days! If you are #consumergoods #retail #fashion #cpg or #textile #brand #distributor or #manufacturer - make sure to reach out, we are at the forefront of supply chain innovation and Ameba might just be the missing piece to elevate your #operation to the next level!

MDV Europe is leading the charge in supply chain innovation by integrating AI into every stage of our operations. As the first European beauty distributor to revolutionize its supply chain from production to delivery, we’re proud to partner with Ameba ai to fully automate and streamline our processes. This cutting-edge collaboration ensures we are faster, more agile, and more efficient than ever before. By investing in this groundbreaking partnership, we’re not just gaining a technological edge—we’re setting a new standard for the industry, ensuring we stay ahead of the curve and continue to deliver unparalleled value to our customers.

Join me in exploring #ai’s huge potential for #fashion and #textile #supplychains on 16th October at the ASBCI (Association of Suppliers to the British Clothing Industry)’s 3Rs of AI conference! The event covers AI use cases at every stage of the fashion development cycle - from #design all the way to #forecasting and #marketing. Incredibly proud to represent Ameba and showcase the huge impact #artificalintelligence can have on #production, #supplychain, #planning, #buying and #merchandising workflows. Excited to meet so many incredible folks from the industry. If you plan to attend please make sure to drop me a message in advance - 1:1 slots are already being arranged and I want to ensure to have sufficient time meeting with everyone interested! If you cannot make it to the conference but you are based in the #halifax, #manchester, #leeds area let me know and I’ll try to make a stopover to meet in person the day before or after the event.

🎉 Welcome Chloe Gale to Ameba! We are beyond excited to announce that Chloe has joined us Head of Growth & Marketing! Chloe most recently worked as a strategy consultant at McKinsey & Company, supporting some of the UK and Australia's biggest brands with growth strategies, go-to-market design and e-commerce performance improvement. Prior to that she was Multiverse's first senior marketing hire, where she developed the brand's marketing plan from scratch and drove candidate acquisition. She is thrilled to be back in the world of startups! Excited to join folks like Chloe in reshaping the future of supply chains? Check out our open positions at https://ameba.ai! 💫

Don't judge us by our promises, but by our #results - reducing manual data input that prior to Ameba used to take up 25% of #operation teams' time! There is a lot of dreaming and skepticism around #ai, and both have a right to exist. But then there are also real-world examples like Ameba that already today have a tangible impact on businesses - in our case on their #supplychain and #operation... As mentioned in my conversation with Goor Moshe - its easy to slap #Artificialintelligence on a software product, but it takes a lot of innovative engineering to build a tool that is so robust that accuracy is above 95%! How we achieve this? By having laser focus on our users in #procurement, #buying, #merchandising, #planning, and #logistics, and truly understanding their needs, specific workflows, #data quality and data sources. To ensure users can have full trust in Ameba, we have built AI explainability into every aspect of our tool - allowing users to investigate and track every alert and insight that is generated by AI back to its original source. Check out the latest video by Goor Moshe on the reliability of AI technologies and the important distinction we need to make between the hype, loose promises, and solutions like Ameba that actually work: https://lnkd.in/eSxy7gdD

🎉 We’re excited to welcome Shylla Estee Pramadhani to Ameba! We’re thrilled to announce that Shylla has joined our London team! As the co-founder of Finku (YC W22), an Indonesian fintech startup that she organically grew to over 1 million users, Shylla brings a wealth of growth, product and design experience to the Ameba team. In her new role, Shylla will focus on creating user-friendly, impactful products for our growing customer base! Excited to join folks like Shylla in reshaping the future of supply chains? Check out our open positions at https://ameba.ai! 💫

#sustainability should always be fully owned by the #COO, #operations & #supplychain management team rather than the #CEO! We often see #CEO's introducing some exciting sustainability strategy that is highly ambitious but simply impossible to execute operationally by the teams on the ground (#procurement, #buying, #logistics, #merchandising, #planning). Many of these goals are great for #pr but are completely disconnected from the operational reality and thereby doomed to fail. What happens next is that these top-down goals are being pushed down to the operations team à la please find a way to achieve these sustainability KPIs (while also reducing costs, speeding up lead times, and improving #OTIF). If the goal is to truly embed sustainability into an operation you've got to start from the bottom up: 1) Understand what you are buying from whome at which costs using which materials, 2) start auditing your suppliers on sustainability metrics in addition to OTIF/quality etc, 3) get a basic understanding where you are today in terms of sustainability, where you want to be and start improving along each step of your value chain to work towards that. At Ameba we see sustainability metrics as an additional data point to capture alongside production statuses, #leadtime, #costs and #quality out of any of your existing systems, emails, excels, pdfs etc. With Ameba customers get a holistic picture of their supply chain to improve these metrics (and understand the trade-offs), instead of trying to make an unfeasible 180 degree transformation of an existing operation out of nowhere...
