About Arzana
Arzana is an AI platform company that automates the front office of American manufacturing, eliminating manual data entry and accelerating quoting cycles that have long plagued the industry. Founded by Stanford engineers Marshall Kools and William Alexander—both from third-generation manufacturing families in the Midwest—the company has rapidly scaled to serve 22 customers ranging from 20-person shops to Fortune 500 manufacturers, processing over 100,000 purchase orders since launch. After graduating from Y Combinator's P26 batch and raising a $4.3M seed round, Arzana has achieved 30% month-over-month growth and 10x-ed revenue during its time in the accelerator. The company's Python-based platform integrates with MES systems, computer vision platforms, and major ERPs like Epicor, with each deployment running in isolated AWS instances to ensure data security. Based in New York City with a seven to nine-person team working in-office five days a week, Arzana is on a mission to fully automate 10,000 factories by 2035.
