Mercura

Mercura offers AI software that reads inbound customer e-mails, attachments and bills of quantities, matches them to products, prices them and produces ready-to-send quotes. It also checks purchase orders against quotes and exports quotes and orders into the customer's ERP system. The company describes its starting point as automating sales for technical suppliers.

The customers are distributors and manufacturers in technical trades such as HVAC, electrical, roofing, sanitary and underground infrastructure. The website states that more than 80 distributors and manufacturers work with Mercura and lists customer case studies. The product is sold as a software platform; the website does not describe pricing terms.

Mercura is based in Munich, Germany, where all listed open positions are located. The website states that it is a Y Combinator W25 company and that its three co-founders are Lukas Bock (CEO), Sean Sdahl (CTO) and Stefan Zheng (CPO). Open roles include engineering, forward-deployed engineering, sales, business development, customer success and an operations internship.
