SWARM Engineering announced that it has raised $10 million in an oversubscribed Series A funding round led by S2G Investments and AgRogue Growth Partners. Additional investors participating in the round included Radicle Growth, Grit Road Partners, Middleland Capital, Open Prairie, Serra Ventures, and Trailhead Capital.
The company develops decision intelligence software for agrifood and manufacturing companies, using domain-trained AI agents and optimization algorithms to improve operational decisions across supply chains, workforce management, and logistics. The new funding will support expansion of SWARM’s AI roadmap, strengthen go-to-market operations, and deepen integrations with enterprise resource planning and supply chain systems.
SWARM said industries such as agriculture and manufacturing are facing increasing pressure from shifting demand patterns, supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and volatile input costs. The company believes many organizations continue to rely on planning systems built for less complex environments and aims to address those challenges with AI systems designed specifically for the operational realities of those industries.
Founded by executives with backgrounds at Microsoft, Palantir, Google, and UiPath, SWARM combines intelligent agents with optimization algorithms that understand industry-specific decision logic, constraints, and relationships between variables. The platform processes real-time data, preserves institutional knowledge, and enables organizations to run thousands of scenarios in minutes.
According to the company, customers can compress planning cycles, improve cross-functional visibility, and simulate numerous logistics and supply chain scenarios significantly faster than traditional methods. SWARM has also received AgTech Breakthrough awards in both 2024 and 2025.
In conjunction with the financing, SWARM announced that Jason Trusley, senior vice president and chief strategy officer at Land O’Lakes, has joined the company’s advisory board. The company said Trusley brings extensive experience in enterprise strategy and the agricultural ecosystem.
One customer, Springs Window Fashions, reported that the platform helped reduce planning cycles by 40% and unlock previously unavailable working capital.
Based in San Francisco, SWARM serves global brands across the United States, Latin America, and Europe. The company focuses on delivering auditable and verifiable operational decisions that enterprise teams can implement immediately.
KEY QUOTES:
“In agrifood and manufacturing, every operational decision has a downstream consequence. Most AI platforms learn your business over time. SWARM is different because it’s built on the ontology of these industries, the decision logic, the constraints, the relationships between variables that can take decades to accumulate. That domain knowledge is native, not acquired, and that’s not something generic AI can replicate.”
Shail Khiyara, CEO, SWARM Engineering
“We run a complex multi-site manufacturing operation where inventory decisions have real financial consequences. SWARM didn’t just improve our planning process, it changed what’s possible. We freed up working capital we didn’t know we had and cut planning cycles by 40%. That is what domain-trained AI looks like in a manufacturing environment.”
Oscar Bolaños, COO, Springs Window Fashions
“Most AI platforms are built for generic problems. Agrifood and manufacturing don’t have generic problems. Co-leading this round reflects our conviction in the platform SWARM is building and the management team behind it, one with the domain depth and enterprise-grade foundation to become a defining player in how these industries operate.”
Mike Wise, Principal, S2G Investments
“Agrifood has been underserved by technology for decades. SWARM is the first company we have seen that truly understands how operational decisions get made in this industry, at the field level, the facility level, and the network level. Shail brings the kind of operator credibility this industry demands and rarely gets from an AI company. That is why we co-led this round.”
