AI-driven multi-agent procurement automation platform

Overview

Company Does Not Provide H1B Sponsorship

Lio provides AI-powered procurement automation for large enterprises, acting as a virtual procurement team with multiple AI agents that work in parallel to research vendors, negotiate terms, obtain approvals, and track deliveries. It connects to ERP and P2P systems such as SAP, Coupa, and Ariba, and operates inside Microsoft Teams, where users submit natural-language purchase requests that the AI converts into structured data for back-end systems. It differentiates itself through parallel agent execution, deep ERP/P2P integration, enterprise-grade security with GDPR compliance, and hosting on Microsoft Azure data centers in Europe. The goal is to shorten procurement cycles from weeks to hours and achieve cost savings around 10% while greatly reducing manual procurement work for global enterprises.

Lio raises $30M from Andreessen Horowitz to automate enterprise procurement with AI agents

Lio has raised $30 million in a Series A round led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from SV Angels, Harry Stebbings and Y Combinator. The company has now raised $33 million in total funding. Founded in 2023 by Vladimir Keil, Lukas Heinzman and Till Wagner, Lio deploys AI agents to automate enterprise procurement processes. The platform handles tasks including supplier evaluation, contract negotiation and transaction completion across enterprise systems, replacing manual workflows that previously required large internal teams or outsourcing. The startup is already managing billions in enterprise spending. One global manufacturer automated 75% of its previously outsourced procurement operations within six months. Lio competes with legacy procurement software vendors like SAP Ariba and Oracle, as well as business process outsourcing providers. The funding will expand Lio's US operations and enhance its AI agent capabilities.
