About waystation
CPG is a $4 trillion market in the US. The manufacturers in it still buy ingredients through email and spreadsheets. Waystation reads supplier email and makes a structured record of each quote, spec, COA, and PO. Procurement, QA, and R&D teams then compare ingredients, track certifications, and write to suppliers.
We are seed-stage and we have paying customers. One customer saved more than $200,000 in three months. Our founder and CEO is Ryan Caldbeck, who started CircleUp. Our investors include Founder Collective, Homebrew, Slow Ventures, 87 Capital, Floodgate, and SuccessVP.
What you'll own
- The most difficult data work. You design the schema for suppliers, items, prices, and documents. The model covers raw materials, packaging, and freight.
- Migrations and backfills on live customer data. You plan the steps, the tests, and the recovery if a step fails. Every migration gets harder as the data grows, so you build the method now.
