Navigating Italy's public tender process, a notoriously stressful and time-consuming ordeal for businesses, is about to get an AI-powered overhaul. Cato AI, a platform designed to automate the entire procurement journey, has closed a $1.9M pre-seed funding round with investment from IAG.
The startup's AI-native solution aims to free up tender and commercial offices from administrative burdens, allowing them to focus on competitive offer building. Already adopted by over 30 offices in sectors like healthcare, education, and infrastructure, Cato AI is positioning itself to transform public procurement from a bureaucratic hurdle into a strategic growth opportunity.
