Cavela, an AI startup founded by Anthony Sardain, has raised $6.6 million in seed funding co-led by XYZ Venture Capital and Susa Ventures, with participation from Crossover Capital. The company automates supplier sourcing for brands, helping them navigate global manufacturing and avoid tariff-related costs. Cavela’s AI agents can analyze product specifications, identify potential suppliers in over 40 countries, and handle communications to secure pricing and lead times—cutting weeks of manual work into a matter of days. Sardain says the platform not only accelerates the sourcing process but also helps companies save an average of 35% on production costs, even below pre-tariff pricing.
