Thrilled to announce our investment in Champ AI 🎉 Founders Jagannath Putrevu, Ted C., and Peter Lin spent nearly a decade at Instacart watching back-office operations become a bottleneck as companies scale. So they built the solution — AI agents that are both the brain and the hands, automating the manual work that slows operations teams down. Champ AI comes out of stealth with $8.5M — and we at defy.vc couldn't be more excited to be part of this round alongside Redpoint Ventures, SV Angel, and Instacart cofounder Max Mullen." Early customers across logistics, healthcare, and e-commerce are already seeing results — Arena Club (a fellow defy.vc portfolio) sped up card processing by 30%. The future of back-office work is agentic. Welcome to the family, Champ! 🏆 More here, thank you!
