AI workforce purpose-built for industrial manufacturers and distributors
Aerium builds an AI workforce for industrial manufacturers and distributors. Its platform unifies operational data across ERPs, spreadsheets and other systems, then deploys AI agents and custom models inside tools teams already use for supply chain, plant operations, engineering and commercial workflows such as RFQ estimation and logistics compliance. The Toronto company was founded by former McKinsey analysts Adam Trotman and Michael Dawes and announced a $2.5M USD seed round from Gutter Capital and angel investors in October 2026.
