What does Atira do? The platform helps industrials respond to complex requests for quotation (RFQs) by auto-processing specifications, configuring solutions, and generating bid documentation. It works across CRM, ERP, and CPQ systems, surfacing key requirements and producing technical documentation, configuration proposals, and pricing options.
Why now? Industrials selling built-to-order products still rely on manual processes, and a single proposal can take weeks or months to prepare. Atira estimates industrial sales engineering represents more than $128 billion in annual labour spend globally, much of it spread across fragmented teams and systems.

Try Dealroom →, formerly a commercial lead at Palantir, and August DuMont SchütteDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, previously a machine learning engineer at Google, Atira plans to use the funding to expand internationally, grow its commercial team, and broaden its product across adjacent workflows including pricing intelligence, aftersales, and supplier coordination.
What one customer says: The solution "was implemented and working productively within a week," said Irfan Coskuner, team leader for tender projects at Robel.
The signal: The round sits in the top 1% of all seed deals for its sector and geography, a marker of investor appetite for AI that targets slow, expertise-heavy enterprise workflows. Atira's bet is that the fragmented back office of industrial sales — long resistant to automation — is now within reach of multi-agent systems.
