Its technology analyses numerous risk indicators across multiple languages to give organisations deeper visibility into their global networks.
London-based supply chain risk platform Bendi has secured £800k in pre-seed funding to scale its operations. The investment round was led by Midven, an investor operating within the Future Planet Capital group, alongside contributions from international backers including Heartfelt Capital and Chasing Rainbows, as well as angel investors and Innovate UK. The capital arrives amid tightening regulatory demands concerning corporate sustainability and responsible sourcing across Europe and the United States.
Founded in 2020, Bendi deploys its flagship Prism platform to help businesses navigate complex international supply networks. The software automates risk analysis by evaluating over 100 indicators in real-time, addressing longstanding industry reliance on manual audits and supplier questionnaires. The newly acquired funds will be directed towards platform enhancement, team expansion, and scaling market reach across additional industries.
