entrio is an AI-driven IT asset management solution that helps enterprises in the financial industry manage and optimize their vendor stack, which on average can exceed ten thousand solutions and is valued at hundreds of millions of dollars per organization. The startup's unique cloud-based platform, designed in partnership with large tier-1 enterprises, empowers IT Governance and IT Sourcing teams with the visibility, searchability and intelligence to manage their vendor stack ultimately providing customers with the data intelligence and automation they need to drive efficiency, visibility and reusability of their on-premise and cloud solutions, and actively helps to reduce costs.

In today's bear market, large enterprises are seeking ways to cut expenses while remaining compliant and in control of their assets. This funding round will enable entrio to continue developing its technology and extend its reach to even more customers globally. With this funding and its growing tier-1 customer base, the startup is positioning itself among the top players in IT asset management. entrio also recently announced its integration of gpt-3, becoming the first one in the ITAM space to embed these capabilities. The company also plans to broaden its data coverage across additional tech assets to enable enterprises to gain a holistic view of their tech stacks.

"We are honored to have received this vote of confidence from our new investors, and are fortunate to have achieved a strong track record in such a short time with some of the world's top-tier banks," said Avi Cohen, co-founder & CEO of entrio. "This round will allow us to continue building the best-in-class IT asset management solution for some of the most respected financial institutions and largest enterprises in the world."

If I'm building a business, what are the best existing software components already in the marketplace? If I'm looking to cut redundancy and save money, how can I best assess feature overlap across my existing vendors? It's exciting to watch the entrio team come up with much-needed, modern solutions to these long-standing use cases."

"Demand for innovative IT asset management solutions is growing rapidly, and entrio is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this trend.

We think this is truly a timely opportunity for the company, its exceptional management team and their existing track record in this space. Several of the world's most respectable financial institutions have already placed their faith in the product, and we see an accelerating trend of the same asset management problem across multiple sectors."

entrio launched its platform in 2021 after the company pivoted from its earlier business model. The company was founded by Avi Cohen (CEO), Gil Devora (CBO) and Moises Cohen (CPO). The company is chaired by Elisha Wiesel, the former CIO of Goldman Sachs.
