About Lio

Lio (formerly askLio) is an enterprise procurement AI company founded in 2023 by Vladimir Keil, Lukas Heinzmann and Till Wagner that builds a multi-agent virtual procurement workforce executing purchase requests end-to-end—vendor research, negotiation, approvals, onboarding and delivery tracking—across ERPs, P2P systems, inboxes and the open web, integrating with SAP, Coupa and Ariba and surfaces such as Microsoft Teams. Customers include Munich Re, Brose, Novozymes and other Global 2000 / Fortune 500 buyers; the company cites large reductions in manual procurement work and incremental savings versus outsourced BPO models, with European Azure hosting and GDPR focus. In March 2026 Lio raised a $30 million Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), with SV Angels, Harry Stebbings and Y Combinator, bringing total funding to about $33 million to accelerate product development and US expansion.
