Why you should join Response

What we're building

At Response, we simplify how ops teams manage indirect spend—everything from office supplies to maintenance materials and packaging. Our platform streamlines procurement, cutting ordering and approval times by up to 92% and helping companies save up to 13% by centralizing purchases with their existing vendors.

Traction

  • Generating revenue; closed deals as large as six figures.
  • Working with leading 3PLs, distributors, and retailers across 25+ states.
  • Built a catalog of 20 million+ SKUs from top industrial suppliers.

Funding

We are well-funded and backed by Y Combinator, Twenty Two Ventures, and angels from Flexport, Ramp, Anduril, Scale AI, and more.

Team

We’re a growing team of 8:

  • Founders: Kais & Keivan
  • Product Design: Becca
  • Data Science: Justin
  • Frontend: Zach
  • Infrastructure: Andre, Renato, Rogers

We plan to scale to 15 by mid-2025. After years of working closely with 100s of ops and procurement teams, we’ve seen how outdated systems lead to lost time, rogue spending, and missed savings. We’re here to change that.

Why join now?

We’re tackling a massive opportunity in the multi-trillion-dollar U.S. industrials market. With a rapidly growing customer base and a clear focus on indirect spend, now is the perfect time to join our fast-growing team and shape the future of procurement. If you’re ready to make an impact, let’s talk.
