Lark
AI agents for wholesale distribution operations.
The founders
The company
Lark builds specialised AI agents for wholesale distributors, automating the manual workflows that keep operations running. The agents plug into existing ERP systems, learn from each distributor's historical data and the team's decisions, and — per the company — can run a distributor's entire operation.
Wholesale distribution still runs on manual processes and legacy ERP, an unglamorous corner of the economy that most AI startups skip. That neglect is exactly the opening: agents that learn from real operational decisions can automate work nobody else is touching.
Founded in 2026 by Michael Wang and Jason Wang, Lark is going after the paperwork-heavy back office of distribution rather than a flashier vertical. The founding team is betting that agents grounded in each distributor's own history beat generic automation.
The two-person founding team has kept things lean, building around existing ERP systems rather than asking distributors to rip and replace. With $125K in early funding, they're focused on the product over the pitch.
