Emanate

Emanate is building what it describes as the first AI Revenue Engine for the Physical Economy: autonomous AI revenue agents designed for industrial materials companies. Founded in San Francisco in 2025, the company targets the workflows of industrial distribution - among them inbound lead capture, pipeline generation, account expansion and pricing intelligence - with a platform that runs across multiple channels 24/7. The stated addressable market is the $5 trillion industrial materials sector, spanning steel and metals, infrastructure and construction materials, pipes and water infrastructure, and manufacturing.

The company's technical work sits at the intersection of frontier AI platform development and revenue operations automation: multi-channel agentic operations, autonomous agents, and pricing and pipeline intelligence applied to distribution-specific processes. Emanate reports that its AI Revenue Engine increases customer revenue by 60-80% and automates more than 80% of revenue operations.

Verticals served include industrial distribution, steel and metals, construction and infrastructure materials, and water infrastructure. The company states a mission to "bring AI superpowers to the industries that build America", arguing that firms powering the physical economy deserve the same technological advantages as software companies. Investors include Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Peter Thiel and Alexis Ohanian. The company operates from San Francisco, United States.
