Lyric, a leading platform for AI-driven supply chain decision-making founded by Ganesh Ramakrishna, has successfully closed a $43.5 million Series B round led by Insight Partners, with participation from Primary Venture Partners, Permanent Capital Ventures, VMG Partners, PSP Growth, and NewBuild Venture Capital. This round brings Lyric’s total funding to approximately $67 million.

Explosive Momentum: 500% Revenue Growth

Since emerging from stealth 18 months ago, Lyric has achieved a remarkable 500% growth in revenue, driven by rapid adoption among Fortune 500 companies across industries. At the core of Lyric’s offering is Lyric Studio, a modular, AI-native platform designed to adapt to complex, modern supply chain workflows, not force them to conform to outdated software.

Lyric Studio: A Composable Platform Built for Enterprise Needs

Lyric Studio stands out with its highly customizable architecture. It integrates diverse data sources, provides a rich algorithm catalog, and includes a visual workflow builder tailored for business users. This approach allows teams to rapidly develop decision-making tools that align with unique business strategies.

One reason this works so well - and something founders should pay close attention to - is that Lyric’s product becomes embedded in the DNA of its customers’ operations. By enabling users to create highly specific, company-shaped workflows, they’re not just selling software, they’re creating infrastructure that becomes extremely costly to rip out. This is more than customer retention - it’s strategic entrenchment. Many early-stage startups focus on quick adoption, but the real defensibility comes when your tool evolves into an irreplaceable part of daily business mechanics. Lyric’s architecture isn’t just about flexibility - it’s about building a moat through operational dependence.

Board Strength and Investor Vision

Lyric’s Board has been bolstered by Teddie Wardi from Insight Partners, whose participation further validates the company's ambition to scale globally. This round also strengthens Lyric’s capacity to:

• Expand its AI and algorithm libraries
  
• Enhance simulation, experimentation, and automation support
  
• Grow customer success and onboarding programs
  
• Scale community and developer engagement
  

Customer Endorsements Validate Lyric's Edge

Supply chain leaders are already recognizing Lyric’s impact. Natesh Rao at Mondelēz International praised the platform’s “exceptional algorithmic horsepower” and rapid adoption across use cases. Enterprises are leveraging Lyric to redesign networks, optimize inventory, and simulate demand scenarios - applications once considered impossible within tight timeframes.

What’s Next: Scaling Global Enterprise Adoption

With fresh capital, Lyric is set to scale beyond its current footprint and deepen its enterprise reach. Plans include international expansion and growing its user base from dozens to potentially hundreds of companies. Supply chain teams around the world are demanding intelligence that adapts - Lyric is positioned to deliver it.

Lyric's Raise Signals the Future of AI-Driven Infrastructure

In an industry where decisions are often reactive and sluggish, Lyric represents a new standard: real-time, adaptive, and strategic supply chain planning. Their Series B underscores a broader shift in enterprise software - from static dashboards to dynamic, AI-first infrastructure. Lyric’s rapid adoption and investor confidence suggest that adaptable platforms, not fixed tools, are defining the next generation of operational infrastructure.
