The chemical industry is a $5 trillion giant that's never been digitized. No playbook. No reference customers. No one's done this before.
Knowde solves the root problem holding the industry back: organizing and digitizing product data. Our AI-powered platform turns decades of unstructured information into clean master data in weeks, powering everything from sales to supply chain to customer experience for 8,000+ of the world's largest suppliers and distributors.
We've raised over $200M from Sequoia Capital, Coatue, and other leading investors to digitally transform one of the world's largest industries. There's no template for this work. But if that's what makes it interesting to you, keep reading.
About Knowde
Chemical companies are the hidden innovators behind the end-products we rely on every day. Chemistry is used to make every physical good on earth, including the products we love from Tesla, Glossier, Apple, Nike, 3M and J&J. And yet, the largest and most impactful industry in the world is still doing business the same way it did 100 years ago.
Knowde is building the first digital marketplace for the $5 trillion chemical industry. Chemical companies use Knowde to market and sell their products online for the first time ever. For buyers, Knowde has become their go-to destination to shop across the entire world of chemistry all in a single destination.
Buyers use Knowde as their go-to destination to discover and purchase chemicals from any chemical producer all in one place. By helping pull this industry online, we will accelerate the innovation behind every physical product in the world.
We’ve raised over $90M from the world’s leading investors, including Sequoia Capital and Coatue, to realize our vision.
