CognitOps — an AI startup whose software models and automates warehouse management — announced it has raised $3 million in a seed round of funding. Chicago Ventures led the investment round with participation from Schematic Ventures, CEAS Investments, and Churton Ventures.
CognitOps also announced the appointment of Roger Counihan as Chief Revenue Officer. Roger will report to CEO Alex Ramirez.
This capital will fuel CognitOps’ product expansion and accelerate go-to-market efforts to take advantage of the strong market demand. And as CognitOps customers compete through the COVID-19 impact and the incredible pace of change in their supply chains, the company’s platform empowers warehouse operators to manage complexity, reduce cost, and improve cycle time.
Along with the funding, CognitOps has added a talented Chief Revenue Officer in Roger Counihan. Counihan joins CognitOps from Fortna where he was Vice President of Sales. And at Fortna, Counihan built an industry-leading Life Sciences practice and led clients through strategic, complex technology designs, and implementations.
