Burnt has announced a $3.8 million seed funding to build an AI-powered OS to automate repetitive operational work slowing down the global food supply chain, an integral part of the $9 trillion food industry. Burnt's agentic platform automates monotonous workflows stuck in ERPS, working with existing legacy systems to accelerate them, not replace them. The round is led by Penny Jar Capital, with participation from Scribble Ventures, Formation VC, and prominent angel investors, including Dan Scheinman, food industry leaders and AI influencers.

Burnt is building superintelligence to strengthen the global supply chain. The company's agentic platform will automate workflows stuck in legacy ERP systems - starting with the food supply chain. Founding members Joseph Jacob, Rhea Karimpanal and Chandru Shanmugasundaram, are generational supply chain entrepreneurs with extensive expertise from sales, to procurement and operations.
