Auger builds an AI-powered operating system for global supply chains. Its main product is an end-to-end supply chain operating system that unifies data from across manufacturers, retailers, and logistics providers to deliver real-time insights and automate operations. The system uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to optimize decision-making as events happen, improving efficiency and reducing costs. It is delivered as a service via subscription, with potential premium features, and is backed by significant investment from Oak HC/FT. Compared with competitors, Auger aims to offer a single, cohesive platform that provides real-time visibility and automated actions across the entire supply chain, rather than stitched-together tools. The company’s goal is to make supply chains as intuitive and seamless as consumer technologies, helping businesses around the world run more efficiently and cost-effectively.

Auger, an autonomous supply chain operating system, has been named a premier supply chain partner on Microsoft Fabric. The company's platform extends Fabric's unified data foundation into real-time supply chain execution, converting enterprise data into autonomous operational decisions. Built on Microsoft Fabric and storing data in Microsoft OneLake, Auger operates above existing infrastructure like ERPs and warehouse management systems. When disruptions occur, the system senses deviations, evaluates trade-offs across the network and executes decisions in seconds, automating inventory rebalancing, production adjustments and shipment rerouting. Founded by Dave Clark, former CEO of Amazon's worldwide consumer business, Auger has raised $100 million from Oak HC|FT. The platform is currently deployed at Meta Reality Labs and is available to enterprises within their existing Fabric tenant.
Auger, a logistics software startup founded by former Amazon retail chief Dave Clark, has signed Meta Platforms as a customer. Meta's Reality Labs division, which produces virtual reality headsets, will deploy Auger's supply-chain management software in the first half of the year. Sportswear licensing and manufacturing firm Fanatics has also implemented a proof of concept using Auger's tools. The deals mark significant early wins for Clark's venture, which focuses on supply-chain management solutions for major technology and consumer companies.
Dave Clark, former Amazon executive who built the company's logistics infrastructure, has launched supply chain startup Auger with his wife, Leigh Anne. The company raised $100 million in seed funding from Oak HC/FT in 2024 and recently signed Meta's Reality Labs as its first long-term client. Auger uses artificial intelligence to help companies manage global supply chains end-to-end, aiming to reduce response times when disruptions occur. Dave serves as CEO whilst Leigh Anne is co-founder and president of fashion and beauty, bringing retail industry experience to complement his supply chain expertise. The couple previously worked separately, with Dave spending over 20 years at Amazon where he rose to CEO of Worldwide Consumer. They now run Auger together from Seattle, navigating the challenges of an increasingly volatile global trade environment.
Former Amazon executive Dave Clark's supply chain tech startup, Auger, has named an 11-person executive team following a $100 million Series A funding round. Many of the new executives are Amazon alumni, including Russell Allgor, Sanjay Dash, and AJ Wilhoit. Auger plans to offer an AI-powered system for data unification and real-time insights, with product demos expected by late February or early March. The company debuted at #194 on the GeekWire 200 startup index.

(GeekWire Photo / Taylor Soper)Buoyed by longtime logistics giants such as Amazon and the rapid rise of trucking startup Convoy, the Seattle region has emerged as a major epicenter for supply chain software innovation.There are at least 15 startups in the Seattle area (listed below) that develop logistics software to help companies move and manage physical goods.The supply chain talent pool in Seattle has a unique blend of “technical skill and customer focus required to win in today’s economy,” said Jason Murray, a former Amazon vice president and co-founder of Seattle-based shipping logistics startup Shipium.That talent can be traced back to global corporations in Seattle such as Starbucks, Costco, Expeditors, and Amazon.The city has an abundance of “supply chain awareness,” said Dan Lewis, co-founder and former CEO of Convoy, a one-time darling of Seattle’s startup scene that raised investment from the likes of Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates. The digital trucking marketplace was valued at more than $3 billion before shutting down in 2023 and selling its assets to Flexport, which re-launched the platform this year and has a Seattle-area satellite office.The supply chain crisis during the pandemic, along with advances in mobile, AI, and other software-related technologies, has driven interest and funding to logistics startups, Lewis said. Lewis and his co-founder Grant Goodale cut their teeth at Amazon before launching Convoy in 2015.Other Amazon leaders have taken the startup leap into logistics in Seattle, including Dave Clark, the former Amazon Worldwide Consumer CEO who just raised $100 million for Auger, a supply chain tech startup.An Amazon electric van in Seattle. (GeekWire Photo / Kurt Schlosser)Clark, who was recently based in Dallas, returned to the Seattle area to launch Auger.“I think some of the best talent in the world for this particular problem space lives in Seattle,” he told GeekWire in October.Bryan Lacaillade is another former Amazonian now leading a Seattle-area logistics startup, launching Freightmate earlier this year.“Seattle’s logistics tech ecosystem is truly world-class and was the primary reason we chose to launch Freightmate here,” said Lacaillade, who previously worked at Flexport.Mo Afshar, CEO of Pipe17, a Seattle e-commerce operations startup, said the physical proximity to Amazon gives his company an advantage.“Amazon has defined a lot of what logistics means in the modern world, so being in the same city really makes a difference,” he said. Seattle has built a reputation around the country as a hub for logistics tech talent
