SUMMARY
- Pelico, a French startup that helps manage complex manufacturing operations, has raised €34.7 million to expand in North America.
The funding round was led by General Catalyst, with support from existing investors 83North and Serena. This brings Pelico’s total funding to €62.6 million. As part of the deal, Larry Bohn from General Catalyst will join Pelico’s board.
“Today’s disruptions and future shocks cannot be solved by siloed teams and fragmented supply chains,” said Tarik Benabdallah, Founder and CEO of Pelico. “We started Pelico in 2019 to solve the dilemma that a single late part can halt a billion dollar production and limit the ability to innovate. Our AI-powered co-pilot is built to solve this by creating a connected, real-time view of supply chain operations.”
The company offers an AI-powered platform that helps global manufacturers manage their supply chains in real time. Designed to address operational fragmentation, Pelico connects data, teams, and tools—enabling faster decision-making, reducing backlogs, lowering inventory costs, and improving on-time delivery.

Major manufacturers like Airbus, Safran, Eaton, and Daikin have implemented Pelico within just 12 weeks and reported immediate gains in efficiency. On average, customers have seen a 40% drop in parts shortages, a 15% boost in on-time deliveries, and a 40% reduction in MRO cycle times.
“Pelico was rolled out across 5 factories and over 150 users in record time, delivering immediate and measurable impact,” said Dan Berilloux, Senior IT Leader, Aerospace at Eaton. “It didn’t just upgrade our tech stack – it transformed how our teams collaborate, make decisions, and operate. What used to be ad hoc is now standardised, streamlined, and scalable.”
Pelico is growing fast, with revenue increasing 300% year-over-year for the past two years and its team size tripling since 2022.
Now active in over 15 countries, Pelico supports global industry leaders across more than 1,000 factories and works with half of the world’s top 10 aerospace and defense companies.
Larry Bohn, Managing Director at General Catalyst said, “Pelico addresses one of the most urgent challenges in global manufacturing – supply chain fragmentation. We saw their potential to transform complexity into clarity by turning operational data into fast, actionable insights. In today’s turbulent world ensuring resilient and intelligent supply chains isn’t just a competitive edge – it’s a necessity. With General Catalyst now joining to scale this mission globally, we believe Pelico is poised to become a defining platform in industrial AI.”
With this new funding, Pelico plans to speed up its expansion in North America, where revenue has tripled in just six months. The company will also invest in growing its data science and engineering teams and advance its work in Agentic AI to build smarter, self-optimizing supply chains.
Florent Pelissier, Startup Director at Microsoft added, “At Microsoft, we are proud to partner with forward-thinking companies like Pelico, whose GenAI solutions leverage Azure AI and Copilot to drive agility and resilience across manufacturing operations. Pelico’s Agentic platform exemplifies the kind of industry-relevant, cloud-powered innovation that harnesses the power of AI to deliver real-time insights and optimisation, from the shop floor to the boardroom.”
