Jiga has raised $12 million in Series A funding as the company positions its platform as a response to hardware procurement timelines that are slowing development across AI-focused industries. While software teams can deploy new systems within hours, hardware engineers often wait weeks for quotes on custom components. Jiga describes this gap as a bottleneck for sectors that depend on rapid iteration, including aerospace, defense, robotics, and advanced manufacturing.
The company was founded by Adar Hay, Yonatan Wolowelsky, and Assaf Geuz to address sourcing delays that arise from unstructured documentation, scattered specifications, and manual coordination between engineers and suppliers. Jiga’s platform brings drawings, requirements, supplier communication, and ordering into a single workflow. Its software extracts information from technical files, organizes relevant context, and highlights risks that could lead to delays, while the company serves as the vendor of record for parts ordered through the system.
According to Jiga, this consolidation reduces sourcing cycles from weeks to hours. The company argues that these delays have become more acute as demand for custom hardware increases. It points to projections from GlobalData and the Space Foundation indicating growth in robotics and space-related industries, and notes that organizations in these sectors outsource most of their custom components.
The funding round was led by Aleph with participation from Symbol and Y Combinator. In the announcement, CEO Adar Hay said the capital will be used to support rising demand from companies seeking shorter procurement timelines. Aleph’s Eden Shochat said Jiga is attempting to automate processes that have historically relied on manual review of drawings, emails, and spreadsheets.
Jiga reports that it processes thousands of requests for quotes each month. The company plans to use the new funding to expand production capabilities, develop additional AI-supported quality assurance tools, and increase its enterprise infrastructure to serve more manufacturing categories.
