Response

Response is a procurement platform that helps operations teams control indirect spend end-to-end, streamlining the ordering and approval process for office supplies, maintenance materials, and packaging. Founded in 2019 by Keivan Shahida and Kais Baillargeon and backed by Y Combinator (W20), Response raised $4M in seed funding led by Twenty-Two Ventures with participation from Flexport, Anduril, Ramp, and Scale AI angels. The platform has helped customers like Aterian (NASDAQ: ATER) and Warehouse Specialists Inc. achieve up to 13.2% cost savings through vendor consolidation and reduce ordering time by up to 91.6%, providing visibility and control over indirect procurement.
