Aramid Technologies Raises $2M in Seed Round to Redefine Quality Certification Management in Global Supply Chains
Summary
"After spending my career seeing how much time, money and opportunity was wasted due to cert problems, I knew there had to be a better way" said Aramid Co-Founder and CEO Lyndon Lattie. His co-founders are Lonni Kieffer, a former Gannett and advertising agency executive, and Paul Decker, an experienced PE and VC backed CEO who has led three industrial technology companies to successful exits. The seed funding will enable Aramid to optimize SmartCerts sales and onboarding processes, strengthen the technology team, and expand the product offering. Its flagship product, SmartCert, was launched in 2021 and streamlines the laborious and error prone process of preparing and exchanging quality certifications. The organization leverages the regions strengths targeting innovation across five key verticals: sports, media, and entertainment; digital health; agriculture, water & environment; manufacturing & construction tech; and supply chain technology.
