Auger, a startup building AI-based automation for enterprise supply chains, has raised $50 million in a Series B round led by Eclipse, with existing investor Oak HC/FT also participating, according to reporting by GeekWire on July 9. The round brings Auger’s total funding to $150 million since it launched in 2024.
From Amazon to Autonomous Supply Chains
Auger was founded in 2024 by Dave Clark, who spent 23 years at Amazon and most recently ran its global consumer business, together with his wife and co-founder Leigh Anne Clark. The Bellevue, Washington-based company has grown to roughly 130 employees, per GeekWire’s reporting.
The startup’s software sits on top of a company’s existing supply chain systems — enterprise resource planning, warehouse management, transportation management and demand-planning tools that Clark says are typically fragmented across 8 to 20 separate platforms — and unifies their data into a single layer. AI agents then use that combined view to make routine operational decisions, such as rerouting shipments or adjusting orders, while flagging exceptions for human review.
Landing Enterprise Customers
Auger counts Meta’s virtual and augmented reality unit, sports merchandise company Fanatics, and consumer goods maker Kimberly-Clark among its customers, the company said. Clark said the goal is to help businesses “move from reactive planning to intelligent execution.”
The new round follows a $100 million Series A that Auger raised from Oak HC/FT at launch in October 2024. The company says it aims to have half of US GDP flowing through its platform by 2030, though that remains a long-term ambition rather than a near-term projection.
The raise adds to a busy year for venture funding in applied, industry-specific AI agents, as investors look past general-purpose chatbots toward software that automates operational work in specific sectors like logistics.
