CommanderAI Raises $5 Million Seed Round At $14.5 Million Valuation Led By 11 Tribes Ventures

CommanderAI (@Commander__AI), founded by David Berg (@DaviddBerg), is the go-to-market platform for the waste management and transportation sectors. The company raised a $5M seed round at a $14.5M valuation led by 11 Tribes Ventures and Watchfire Ventures, with participation from Barrel Ventures, Gaingels, Sean Rad (Founder of Tinder), Eytan Elbaz (AdSense), and MaryRuth Ghiyam (MaryRuth Organics). CommanderAI uses AI-powered prospecting, engagement, and actionable insights to help companies find and sell to the right customers. The idea was born from Berg’s own experience driving across the country selling garbage trucks, where he was struck by the fact that waste management companies generating $100M annually were still relying on pen, paper, and door-to-door sales.
