Anvyl, looking to help D2C brands manage their supply chain, raises $9.3M –

Angel investors Kevin Ryan (MongoDB and DoubleClick), Ben Kaufman (Quirky and Camp) and Dan Rose (Facebook) also participated in the round. Manzo hails from Apple, where with $300 million in spend to manage logistics and supply chain he was still operating in an Excel spreadsheet. The company partners with factories to set up cameras and sensors that let brands see their product actually being built. The company also looks at each step in between, including trucks, trains, boats and planes so that brands can see, in real time, their products go from being manufactured to delivery. The company plans to use the funding toward hiring in engineering and marketing, and grow its consumer goods customer base.
