{"id":101498,"title":"Andustry: AI native broker for industrial equipment","tagline":"Helps manufacturers find their next supplier. 30% cheaper and 2x faster.","body":"Hey YC! We’re [Johann](https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannstuerken/) and [Het](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hetdave/) building [Andustry](https://www.andustry.com/). We are an AI native broker that helps manufacturers find suppliers for industrial parts and equipment. \\\n\\\nSourcing for SME manufacturers often takes months, and they almost always overpay for their orders.\\\n\\\nThe current process is disorganized. Teams spend months sourcing a single part, and need to deal with several suppliers, trade shows, countries, regulations, banks, and any complications that come in the way. \n\nAndustry deals with all of this, so that you don’t have to.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/TP0OlikXS9o\u003e\n\nOur first customer saved 400k USD on CNC machines for 1.2m USD. Currently, Andustry is helping customers save 30% costs on average, while cutting the sourcing time in half.\n\nIf you’re sourcing any kind of hardware, we’d love to talk to you!\n\n[founders@andustry.com](mailto:founders@andustry.com)\\\n\u003chttps://andustry.cal.com/johann/andustry-first-call\u003e\\\n+1 (415) 429-2266","slug":"QP4-andustry-ai-native-broker-for-industrial-equipment","created_at":"2026-05-18T01:42:20.657Z","updated_at":"2026-05-25T01:54:08.927Z","total_vote_count":10,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/QP4-andustry-ai-native-broker-for-industrial-equipment","share_image_url":"//bookface-static.ycombinator.com/assets/ycdc/yc-og-image-c440a0ad1dacfb86eeeb343717479cc54d256614449b4ef719977a0a451f8bc8.png","company":{"id":31367,"name":"Andustry","slug":"andustry","url":"http://andustry.com/","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/2189a7097412cbf54bc66b9495393ddfceb6282a.png","batch":"Spring 2026","industry":"B2B","tags":["Marketplace","Sales","Manufacturing","Procurement","Industrial"],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/31367"}}
