When you look at supply chains today, they’re not chains, they’re tangled headphone cords from 2007. Everyone swears they’ll fix them “next week,” but next week turns into “never,” and the world keeps running on brittle systems and caffeine. That’s where Lyric steps in. Not to write songs about the problem, but to orchestrate a composable AI-powered platform that lets Fortune 500 turn chaos into choreography. The company isn’t tinkering at the edges; it’s letting enterprises design, simulate, and deploy supply chain intelligence without needing a PhD in both logistics and computer science.
Founded in 2022 by Ganesh Ramakrishna, who has spent his career building and leading supply chain software teams, Lyric has taken a quietly ruthless approach to an industry allergic to change. Lyric Studio brings together four layers: data integration, an algorithm library, workflow orchestration, and a business-user experience layer. It’s like moving from ductwork and soldering irons to Lego blocks, except your Lego pieces are built on Python, TensorFlow, and Kubernetes, running on AWS with the security chops of SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance. Sara Hoormann heads up Generative AI & Product, ensuring this isn’t just theoretical horsepower; it’s practical, scalable decision intelligence deployed inside companies like Mondelez, The Coca-Cola Company, DHL, Estee Lauder, and Bodyarmor.
Today, Lyric announced a $43.5 million Series B led by Insight Partners, with Primary Venture Partners, Permanent Capital Ventures, VMG Partners, PSP Growth, and NewBuild Venture Capital joining in. That brings total funding to $66.5 million since a $23 million seed in 2023. And they’ve earned it—500% revenue growth in 18 months, global deployments across North America, Europe, and Asia, and a spot in Gartner’s Market Guide for Analytics and Decision-Making Platforms for Supply Chain. You don’t get that kind of traction unless you’re doing more than making dashboards look pretty.
The capital isn’t for a victory lap; it’s fuel. Lyric is scaling engineering, data science, and customer success headcount by 50% while expanding its library of reusable supply chain logic and rolling out “frontier intelligence” modules. They’re taking the same precision they’ve shown in product design and applying it to global expansion, targeting complex, high-volume industries from food and beverage to pharma. The next stop? Empower 2025 in Chicago this August, where Lyric will pull the curtain on new capabilities built for enterprises who’ve outgrown excuses.
If the last decade was about digitizing the supply chain, the next one will be about making it think. Lyric just made sure they’ll be writing the score.
