Crunchbase News reports the rebranded Pando closed a Series B co-led by Battery Ventures and NewRoad, bringing total funding to $100M across roughly 50 customers. Its agents read contracts, policies, and email to verify invoices, negotiate with vendors, and execute procurement across 60-70 countries. Claimed results: 5-10% of total spend recovered, workflows 5-7x faster, procure-to-pay cycle times down more than 70%. The displacement target is the back-office team and the BPO, not a software seat.
