HappyRobot raises $44 million Series B to scale AI agent platform for logistics and supply chain
What happened: San Francisco–based HappyRobot, Inc. announced a $44.0 million Series B round in September 2025, bringing its total venture funding to $62 million. The round was led by Base10 Partners and included participation from prior investors and new backers. The company says the capital will be used to grow the team, advance its AI platform, expand enterprise deployments, and scale operations internationally.
Why this matters
HappyRobot builds an AI-native operating system that manages autonomous AI workers — software agents designed to perform routine coordination and execution tasks in logistics and supply chain operations. The company positions its platform to reduce manual work so human staff can focus on strategy, exceptions and relationship management.
Funding and investors
The $44 million Series B was reported in September 2025 with Base10 Partners as the lead investor. Base10, also based in San Francisco and founded in 2017, focuses on early-stage companies that bring automation to traditional sectors including logistics, construction and retail. Other participating investors include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Y Combinator, Tokio Marine, WaVe‑X, World Innovation Lab (WiL), Array Ventures, and Samsara Ventures. HappyRobot previously raised a $15.6 million Series A in late 2024 led by a16z.
Use of proceeds and hiring plans
Funds from the Series B are earmarked to hire new staff, accelerate product development, expand enterprise rollouts and build global operations. The company reported a current headcount of about 70 employees before the raise and said it will grow that team with hires in software engineering, on-site consulting, and sales. Reported focal hiring locations include San Francisco and Madrid.
Product and how it works
HappyRobot’s platform orchestrates configurable AI workers that can communicate by phone, email and chat; read and extract data from documents using OCR; browse websites and perform browser automation; transcribe audio and generate voice; and relay time‑critical details to human staff. The platform integrates with enterprise systems such as TMS (transportation management systems), ERP, and CRM, as well as supply chain and office management software. An on-platform AI builder is designed to let operations teams — not just developers — create and deploy new agents using prompt-based tools.
Use cases and reported impacts
Reported applications cover a range of operational tasks: negotiating rates with carriers, booking appointments, collecting payments, recruiting and scheduling staff, generating reports for management, and monitoring worker status to fill shifts. The company reports measurable effects with some customers, including shortening time to schedule appointments from more than a week to about 30 minutes over roughly a 10‑month period, and high potential returns on outbound sales and carrier sales operations.
Customers and scale
HappyRobot says it serves 70+ enterprise customers, naming several global logistics and transportation firms among them. The company describes its implementation model as ranging from simple agents that compile monthly operations reports to complex agents that manage worker outreach and replacement with limited human oversight while keeping managers informed of exceptions.
Technology
The company combines large language models with agentic AI and industry-specific knowledge to build and run its autonomous agents. That technology stack is tuned for operational tasks in supply chain and logistics rather than generic consumer use.
Background and context
HappyRobot was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in San Francisco. The company’s stated mission is to build an AI operating system for the real economy, focusing on vertical AI for operations. The Series B follows a Series A in late 2024 and represents the next step in scaling product development, enterprise deployments and international operations.
What to watch next
Key indicators to watch include new enterprise deployments, headcount growth in target offices, progress on deeper integrations with TMS/ERP/CRM systems, and any published customer outcome studies that quantify operational savings or revenue impact.
