About Doss
DOSS is building an Operations Cloud for the real world. A modern, AI-native platform for physical product businesses to manage the flow of goods, dollars, and data in real time, across:
- Procurement

Built to replace spreadsheet chaos and rigid, consultant-heavy ERPs. Fast time-to-value, adaptable as the business evolves. Through our Adaptive Resource Platform (ARP) and unified operational data model, teams deploy quickly, automate workflows, and make changes without months of re-implementation. We recently raised a $55M Series B, co-led by Madrona and Premji Invest. Participation from Intuit Ventures, Theory Ventures, General Catalyst, Contrary Capital, and Pathlight VC. DOSS is trusted by fast-growing operators to run critical operations with speed, control, and confidence.
