What they’re building

Kyrok helps pharmaceutical and chemical companies coordinate planning, inventory, purchasing and production. Its software works with existing systems so teams can act on operational information without replacing their entire setup.

Co-founders Daniel Hofinger and Lukas Bierfreund are focusing on the shortages, excess stock and manual coordination that make supply chains difficult to manage.

The round

The €3.1 million pre-seed round was led by Speedinvest, with participation from Arve Capital and industry and technology angels. Kyrok plans to expand its product and team as it develops its supply-chain operating system.
