About Corvera

Corvera (YC W26) is the AI sales engine for CPG brands. We turn the data a brand already has into the actions its sales team takes today. A CPG brand sells into tens of thousands of independent US stores through dozens of distributors, and works that base with a handful of people. CLEAN Cause, a $20M yerba mate brand, covers 21,000 stores through 46 distributors with a four-person sales team. The accounts worth a call are not capped by headcount. The team is. CLEAN Cause now runs its daily sales decisions on Corvera: 5,000 queries in 40 days across 12 users, $250K of opportunities surfaced within days, and a 7x return on the analysts they would otherwise hire. With Corvera in place, every sales rep starts the morning with: - The stores to act on today, ranked and priced, with the reason on the row, - The outreach already drafted to the right contact at the right distributor, and - The follow-up booked, logged, and measured against the goal it was set to move. All from the distributor feeds, retailer portals, and ERP data they already have, resolved into one context layer - without a data team, and without handing their sales to a broker. We’re founded by Chris (2x Founder; ex-CEO at Better Nature; Forbes 30U30), Dirk (ex-Google Data & AI Lead), and Matthew (ex-Head of Product at Rosemark; Princeton MEng in CS). To date, we’ve raised $6.2M and are backed by YC, firstminute capital, 6 Degrees Capital, 20VC, Rebel Fund, Duke Capital Partners, and more. Our ICP is US CPG brands doing $20M+ in retail revenue through UNFI, KeHE and DSD distributors. We sell to VPs of Sales and CEOs. The incumbents prove the scale. Brokers take 5-12% of a $350B US independent grocery market, and Advantage Solutions, a publicly traded company, does $3.5B in annual revenue. Our mission is bold: to enable the next generation of unicorn CPG brands to be run by teams of less than 10 people. Our vision is even bolder: to give every CPG brand the coverage of a full sales team at a fraction of the headcount, and displace the broker network that covers the US independent channel today.
