Corvera, a supply chain management startup, has raised £3 million in a seed round led by 6 Degrees Capital, with participation from 20VC, Rebel Fund, Duke Capital Partners and Multimodal Ventures. The platform connects to existing systems used by consumer packaged goods brands and automates operational workflows. Funding will be used to scale the platform, hire additional staff and build the customer base.
Built to address manual and fragmented processes across supply chains, the platform sits on top of existing software and enterprise resource planning systems. Operational tasks that would typically require human input are carried out automatically, including recording orders, sending them to fulfilment and generating invoices. This enables faster decision-making, improves margins and reduces operational overhead while maintaining visibility over financial performance, cashflow and logistics.
Founded after observing automation trends in other industries, Corvera focuses on consumer packaged goods brands whose workflows remain heavily reliant on manual processes. The system allows brands to offload operational work while continuing to use their existing tools.
The global consumer packaged goods sector was almost $5.5 trillion in 2024 and is projected to reach $7 trillion by 2033, reflecting increasing demand for software that improves operational efficiency.
Led by CEO Christopher Kong, Corvera brings experience from scaling Better Nature into a European tempeh brand with distribution in 5,000 stores. The founding team also includes former senior leaders in data, AI and product from Google and Rosemark.
Everyday CPG brands spend countless hours on back-office workflows that could otherwise be handled autonomously and flawlessly by AI agents. We’re here to make this a reality, enabling brands to invest more time into what truly makes them special and valuable Our objective isn't to replace existing tools or force our customers to "lift-and-shift" systems. Instead, we act as the bridge between various systems and automate the manual work required to operate them. By reducing the reliance on human middleware, we enable more resilient, proactive supply chains with fewer errors and better service levels.
We’re thrilled to back Corvera and the exceptional team behind it, who bring rare firsthand experience building and scaling CPG brands. From day one, their clarity of thought and bias toward execution stood out. In today’s fast-moving AI landscape, speed of execution is the ultimate differentiator and we believe Corvera has the team and product to lead this category.
I've known Chris for seven years, from founding Better Nature to scaling it into Europe's largest tempeh brand, and few founders combine his drive with his deep, scar-tissue understanding of how CPG operations actually break. Corvera is uniquely positioned to become the command centre for the next generation of CPG brands, and we are proud to have been their first investor, and excited to see them close this Seed round on the back of the pace they set during YC.
Duke Capital Partners backed Corvera because Chris and the team have lived the problem they’re solving and built transformative AI to address it. Their early traction signals strong market demand, and we believe they’re the right team to execute. We look forward to supporting Corvera’s growth and leveraging the Duke University network to help accelerate their success.
