Today we're announcing that SalesPatriot has raised $5 million in seed funding to modernize procurement for defense and aerospace. The round was led by CRV, with participation from Pear VC, Y Combinator, SV Angel, Liquid2, Uncorrelated Ventures, and several incredible angels, including Paul Graham, Rich Miner, Mark Pincus, Steve Blank, and Mati Staniszewski.

Our mission is simple: make defense supply chains faster and smarter. The U.S. defense industrial base still runs on systems built in the 1980s. Distributors and manufacturers rely on a patchwork of emails, PDFs, supplier quotes, and outdated ERP tools to manage billions of dollars in critical components.

We're replacing that with a unified, AI-native platform that actually works.

Our platform ingests and structures data from government portals, ERP systems, spreadsheets, and even unstructured email communications. Its dynamic workflows automate quote processing and order management, enabling suppliers to process orders 7x faster.

From F-35 bearings to Blackhawk rotor hubs, we're helping distributors and manufacturers quote faster, win more, and deliver the parts that keep NATO safe.

Over the past year, SalesPatriot has grown from an idea shared by three engineers into a platform powering teams that manage over $200 million in Pentagon orders annually. We have secured contracts with leading defense parts distributors including Jamaica Bearings Group, AllClear Aerospace, and STATZ Corporation.

And we're just getting started.

We're now expanding our team – both in the U.S. and in Europe.

At our Hacker House in San Francisco, engineers live and work side by side, shipping world-class code and solving hard problems that actually matter.

And this month, we opened SalesPatriot House in Warsaw, our European hub. It's a place for top Polish engineers to work with the U.S. team on mission-critical systems for the defense industry.

If you're a builder who thrives on impact, speed, and responsibility, we'd love to hear from you.
