Didero lands $30M to put manufacturing procurement on 'agentic' autopilot

Didero raised 30 million dollars in a Series A funding round. Chemistry and Headline co-led the round with participation from Microsofts venture fund M12. The company develops an agentic artificial intelligence platform to automate procurement workflows for manufacturers and distributors. Tim Spencer, Lorenz Pallhuber and Tom Petit founded Didero. Spencer previously ran an e-commerce startup called Markai. The platform sits on top of existing enterprise resource planning systems and ingests communications such as emails, purchase orders and packing lists. It then executes updates and tasks automatically. Spencer said the goal is to go from identifying a need to completing payment without manual intervention. The company has dozens of customers including Footprint, a provider of sustainable packaging.
