Epoch Raises $4.3M Seed for Geospatial AI Supply Chain Due Diligence

Epoch Closes $4.3M Seed Round

Epoch, a London-based first-mile supply chain intelligence company, has raised $4.3 million in seed funding. The round was led by Burnt Island Ventures, with participation from Sand River.

What Epoch Does

Epoch applies geospatial AI, agentic research, and satellite earth observation to map where raw materials originate. The company focuses on commodities including cocoa, coffee, and rubber, producing compliance-ready due diligence data without relying on supplier questionnaires.

That approach targets a persistent problem in supply chain compliance: verifying origin and sourcing claims through independent data rather than self-reported supplier information.

Company Background

Epoch was founded in 2023 by CEO Jinal Surti and CTO William Ouellette. The company is headquartered in London.

Distribution and Product Reach

Epoch reports that it reaches more than 30,000 enterprises through integrations with supply chain platforms including Altana, Assent, Resilinc, and 3E. In October 2026, the company launched a self-serve EUDR compliance product aimed at small and mid-sized importers.

The combination of platform integrations and a self-serve offering gives Epoch two distinct distribution channels: embedded access through established supply chain software providers and direct access for smaller importers navigating EUDR requirements.

Funding Details

• Round type: Seed
• Amount: $4.3 million USD
• Lead investor: Burnt Island Ventures
• Additional investors: Sand River

Why It Matters for Acquisition Watchers

Supply chain due diligence has become a regulatory priority, particularly around EUDR compliance, and Epoch's use of satellite observation and geospatial AI offers an alternative to questionnaire-based verification. For acquirers in supply chain software, compliance technology, or geospatial data, Epoch represents a seed-stage asset with:

• A defined technical approach combining geospatial AI and earth observation
• Integrations with established supply chain platforms reaching more than 30,000 enterprises
• A self-serve product for small and mid-sized importers launched in October 2026
• A founding team with named CEO and CTO leadership since 2023

The company operates at the first mile of supply chains — the point of origin for raw materials — where data quality underpins downstream compliance and reporting.

Summary

Epoch has raised a $4.3 million seed round led by Burnt Island Ventures with participation from Sand River. The London-based company, founded in 2023, uses geospatial AI and satellite earth observation to produce compliance-ready due diligence data on raw material origins, and reaches more than 30,000 enterprises through integrations with major supply chain platforms.
