Koya AI

Pre Seed Round in 2023
Koya AI helps data aggregators such as marketplaces and procurement platforms to manage catalog data seamlessly.

Crucial services such as search and discovery, bringing new products live, and recommendations depend on product data quality. This data varies widely across providers and changes frequently, creating tremendous complexity. Today, most marketplaces and data aggregators manage these workflows manually, which is slow, inaccurate, and cumbersome.
