We are bringing the ERP, the core infrastructure of the real world economy, into the AI-age. It’s time for companies to move on from dusty, decades-old systems and finally get the intelligent tools they deserve.
We’re building Piston for the real-world economy, industries where execution isn’t optional, it’s everything. Manufacturing, consumer goods, distribution, food and beverages, logistics, construction, energy. In these environments, every delay, mistake, or blind spot comes at a real cost.
AI-Native ERP, designed for the real-world economy. Live in days, configurable in natural language, built to eliminate low-value tasks and deliver proactive intelligence directly to the users. We don’t believe in the approach of IA add-on on top of a legacy system. We’re rebuilding it from the ground up, from the system of record to the business logic to the human-machine interface.
At the core of Piston is a new data architecture: one that unifies structured, unstructured, and public data, enriched by a dynamic knowledge graph. On top of that, we layer AI-native agents and a radically new interface paradigm: not built for form-filling, but for fast, natural interactions.
This is a deep tech problem, one that touches every layer of the stack. But the value it delivers is transformative: more autonomy, more intelligence, and finally, an ERP that works with our clients, not against them.
We’re a tight-knit founding team that’s scaled from zero to growth before at talent.io and GitGuardian in the last 7 years. We've shipped product, built teams, and grown revenue from scratch. We work across product, engineering, and GTM as one unit, writing code, talking to users, and making the hard calls together. We’ve lived the pain of ERP firsthand, and we’re building the product we wish we had.
We bias for action, care deeply about craft, and know how to move fast without breaking trust.
Legacy ERPs weren’t built for real-time decisions, AI-native workflows, or the pace of modern operations. SMEs can’t afford to move slowly, but their tools still drag them down.
Today, everything changes. Agent frameworks are maturing. Foundation models can now support real business logic. A new application layer is emerging, and it won’t come from vendors stuck with 20-year-old codebases.
We’re pre–PMF, building side-by-side with design partners who will run their business on us. Backed by €3M from top-tier VCs, we’re moving fast from zero to one.
