The context layer for AI-native CPG brands
Corvera (YC W26) is the context layer for AI-native CPG brands. We help brands unlock the full potential of AI by making their unified data legible to any AI tool via MCP.
As of mid-March 2026, we scaled from $0 to $33k in MRR in 4 weeks, are serving 12 brands, and are growing 130% week-on-week.
With Corvera in place, brands can enable anyone in their organization to:
All in a secure, audit-logged, and access-controlled environment, without the need for a team of data engineers or AI specialists, in a simple plug-and-play solution.
We're founded by Chris (2x Founder; ex-CEO at Better Nature; Forbes 30U30), Dirk (ex-Google Data & AI Lead), and Matthew (ex-Head of Product at Rosemark; Princeton MEng in CS).
To-date, we’ve raised $6.2M and are backed by YC, firstminute capital, 6 Degrees Capital, 20VC, Rebel Fund, Duke Capital Partners, and more. Our ICP are omnichannel retail-focused CPG brands at the $100M+ revenue inflection point.
Our mission is bold: to enable the next generation of unicorn CPG brands to be run by teams of less than 10 people.
Our vision is even bolder: to be the system of intelligence for the $5.4T global CPG industry.
