We are thrilled to announce our investment in Metreecs, a French–American startup using AI to make
retail supply chains smarter and more sustainable.
🎯 The Round
We invested in Metreecs’s $2.7 million Seed round with participation from Y Combinator, Founders Future, Kima Ventures, Bpifrance, and several prominent angel investors.
💡 Fixing a $2 Trillion Problem
Every year, poor demand forecasting costs global retailers over $2 trillion through overstocks, stockouts, and wasted products. Only the largest players Amazon, Zara, and Walmart have built internal AI systems to manage this complexity. Metreecs brings that level of intelligence to every retailer, automating inventory management and forecasting through models trained on internal and external data such as weather, trends, and regional events.
