Berlin \u2014 Ander\u00adcore, the AI-powered trading plat\u00adform for indus\u00adtrial procu\u00adre\u00adment, has raised USD 40 million in equity and debt capi\u00adtal to further acce\u00adle\u00adrate its expan\u00adsion in Europe. Long-stan\u00adding part\u00adners Atomico and Project A are parti\u00adci\u00adpa\u00adting in the finan\u00adcing round. Inven Capi\u00adtal is joining for the first time, supple\u00admen\u00adted by insti\u00adtu\u00adtio\u00adnal finan\u00adcing from Commerz\u00adbank and KfW. Ander\u00adcore has thus raised a total of 75 million US dollars to date. <\/p>\n
Ander\u00adcore opera\u00adtes an AI-powered trading plat\u00adform for indus\u00adtrial needs<\/strong> that makes global supply chains in areas such as infra\u00adstruc\u00adture, energy and cons\u00adtruc\u00adtion more effi\u00adci\u00adent, trans\u00adpa\u00adrent and resilient.<\/p>\n Ander\u00adcore is active in the worl\u00add\u2019s largest commer\u00adcial system \u2014 global whole\u00adsale. This repres\u00adents annual trading volu\u00admes of tens of tril\u00adli\u00adons of US dollars and forms the back\u00adbone of indus\u00adtrial supply chains. Despite its enorm\u00adous importance, the sector is still heavily charac\u00adte\u00adri\u00adzed by manual proces\u00adses: Frag\u00admen\u00adted proces\u00adses, high costs and limi\u00adted direct market access for inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal suppli\u00aders define the status quo. Ander\u00adcore star\u00adted in key indus\u00adtry cate\u00adgo\u00adries such as energy, infra\u00adstruc\u00adture and buil\u00adding mate\u00adri\u00adals, which toge\u00adther account for an annual demand of over 200 billion euros in Europe. These cate\u00adgo\u00adries form a focu\u00adsed entry point for a plat\u00adform that is desi\u00adgned to gradu\u00adally cover the entire indus\u00adtrial procurement. <\/p>\n Over the past five years, Ander\u00adcore has built an asset-light trading model for cross-border supply chains, driven by a proprie\u00adtary AI plat\u00adform. The company buys from inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal suppli\u00aders and sells on its own account to local buyers. The AI orchestra\u00adtes the entire trade cycle \u2014 from pricing and quoting to quality assu\u00adrance, distri\u00adbu\u00adtion and inte\u00adgra\u00adted finan\u00adcing. Thou\u00adsands of large-volume tran\u00adsac\u00adtions are alre\u00adady proces\u00adsed via Ander\u00adcore in seven Euro\u00adpean markets every month. <\/p>\n \u201cAt its core, Ander\u00adcore is an AI that moves physi\u00adcal products in contai\u00adners around the world,\u201d says Phil\u00adipp Ander\u00adnach, foun\u00adder and CEO of Ander\u00adcore<\/strong> (photo: Ander\u00adcore). \u201cOur system brings predic\u00adta\u00adbi\u00adlity, relia\u00adbi\u00adlity and speed to supply chains that still rely heavily on manual labor. Buyers get faster quotes, better prices and a smoot\u00adher expe\u00adri\u00adence across complex indus\u00adtry cate\u00adgo\u00adries. Suppli\u00aders gain a part\u00adner that provi\u00addes predic\u00adta\u00adble demand, expands their custo\u00admer base, pays on time and fully assu\u00admes opera\u00adtio\u00adnal comple\u00adxity. This finan\u00adcing enables us to bring these capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties to signi\u00adfi\u00adcantly more markets.\u201d <\/p>\n About Atomico About Project A Consul\u00adtant Ander\u00adcore: V14<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Clemens Waitz Advi\u00adsors to Atomico and Project A: YPOG<\/strong> provi\u00added compre\u00adhen\u00adsive legal advice to the venture capi\u00adtal inves\u00adtors in the USD 40 million Series B finan\u00adcing round of the Berlin-based indus\u00adtrial tech company Andercore.<\/p>\n Team for Atomico<\/strong> Team for Project A<\/strong> The law firm V14<\/strong><\/p>\n V14 is a Berlin-based law firm specia\u00adli\u00adzing in growth capi\u00adtal, tech\u00adno\u00adlogy and media. \u2014 www.v14.de<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Berlin \u2014 Ander\u00adcore, the AI-powered trading plat\u00adform for indus\u00adtrial procu\u00adre\u00adment, has raised USD 40 million in equity and debt capi\u00adtal to further acce\u00adle\u00adrate its expan\u00adsion in Europe.
