AI agents for distributors and manufacturers to automate order entry.
The company builds AI agents for industrial distributors and manufacturers to automate order processing from e-mail inbox to ERP. Across the US and Germany, 4 million sales and procurement professionals are stuck in manual workflows between inbox and ERP. Comena is part of the YC S25 batch, described as the most selective batch in YC history, and recently raised a seed round from top Silicon Valley investors. The company has added six-figure ARR in the last month and serves customers across the US and Germany, with a deliberately small team. Founders Jiehua and Almo bring notable credentials—Jiehua was the youngest software engineer at Google Zurich and the first sales hire at askLio (YC S23); Almo shipped code at Microsoft and Amazon AWS and was the first engineer at Leaping AI (YC W25).
