Supply Veins

Supply Veins is a procurement technology company that describes its product as an AI-native operating system, or "Unified Supplier Communication System," aimed at the communication and coordination gaps between buyers and suppliers. The platform converts fragmented supplier email traffic into structured procurement data, centralizes vendor information, and supports purchase order management and tracking, giving operations and sourcing teams visibility into purchase orders, supplier activity, and cost movement.

The company began as Autoket, an AI-powered B2B marketplace for automotive fleet parts, and rebranded to Supply Veins on August 1, 2025, broadening its scope from auto parts to procurement across industries, with a stated ambition covering air, land, and sea supply chains. Pilot participants at the time of the relaunch spanned auto manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, distribution, hardware startups, and small and mid-sized businesses. By 2026 the company was positioning its technology for dual-use applications, pursuing government contracting alongside its commercial manufacturing customers.

Founding story

Co-founder and CEO Charles Masters Rodriguez, born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, studied engineering management at West Point and served five years as a U.S. Army engineer diver. After medically retiring in 2019 he earned an MBA from Florida International University and bootstrapped an automotive and fleet parts distribution business to seven figures, where he encountered the sourcing and communication problems he had also seen in the military. Co-founder Joseph Wyatt, whom he met while stationed in Hawaii, served as a battalion logistics officer before moving into special operations, deploying to Afghanistan and later helping open supply corridors through Poland during the early weeks of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Business model

Supply Veins sells a software platform to companies that purchase from multiple suppliers, targeting purchasing managers and sourcing teams; prospective customers are directed to schedule a demo through the company website. It is also pursuing government contracting revenue, working with consultancy SBIR Advisors toward a Phase I SBIR award and Department of War use cases.

Traction

Ran pilot programs across auto manufacturing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, distribution, hardware startups, and SMBs as of the 2025 relaunch. As Autoket, it took first place in the university track and placed in the top five overall at eMerge Americas 2024, which carried a $30,000 non-dilutive award. The company completed Techstars Los Angeles, added angel capital, and reported commercial traction in automotive manufacturing by 2026.

Latest developments

In April 2026 Supply Veins announced its return to eMerge Americas 2026 in Miami, where CEO Charles Masters Rodriguez was to MC the second half of the National Security Port demo event on April 21. The company said it was working with SBIR Advisors to pursue a Phase I SBIR award and translate its commercial automotive-manufacturing traction into Department of War use cases, while meeting dual-use pre-seed investors and preparing a full pre-seed round.
