Overview

Altana AI is a supply chain intelligence platform serving enterprise and government customers across logistics, manufacturing, retail, defense, and insurance. The company operates a federated knowledge graph -- called the Altana Atlas -- that maps global buyer-supplier networks using AI applied to billions of public and proprietary data points. Insurance-specific capabilities enable carriers and brokers to underwrite supply chain disruption risk, price trade-related exposures, and manage aggregate portfolio risk.

The platform is delivered as a SaaS-based Value Chain Management System (VCMS), giving customers product-level visibility into extended supplier and distribution networks. Agentic AI workflows support compliance tasks including forced labor screening, tariff management, and customs clearance, while a federated data architecture maintains customer data sovereignty. The system integrates with customs authorities at 12 international ports representing approximately 70% of global trade volume.

Founded in 2018 by Evan Smith (CEO), Peter Swartz (CTO), and Raphael Tehranian (COO), Altana raised a USD 200M Series C in 2024 at a USD 1B valuation. Five of the world's 10 largest logistics providers use the platform, which tracks over 140 million buyer-supplier connections. In the insurance sector, Altana powered a USD 95M AI-driven trade disruption insurance facility launched by McGill and Partners, Tokio Marine Kiln, and Convex in November 2024.
