Teem is backed by world-class investors

We’ve experienced technology sourcing pain first hand.

So you don't have to.

Technology buyers are faced with a myriad of suppliers and it’s near impossible to understand who can deliver the value you need. Reaching out on a supplier website often devolves into a series of frustrating sales calls just to get a quote or an answer to a product question. Sellers seemingly withhold information from buyers to maintain leverage and both sides willfully submit to the mantra that “sales cycles are 6-9 months because it’senterprise”. We’re building a better, more efficient way to buy technology.

FAQs

What is Teem?

Teem is an AI-native supplier intelligence platform that helps procurement, sourcing, IT, and finance teams make faster, higher-quality decisions about every purchase request and renewal. We centralize supplier data, automate analysis, and provide a single source of truth across your technology stack. The result is reduced redundancy, lower spend, and clearer alignment with organizational strategy.

How is AI being used?

We use a combination of large language models and proprietary extraction pipelines to analyze supplier websites, identify product features, map suppliers to your internal categories, and surface redundancies across your stack. AI also powers our comparison engine, stakeholder surveys, category strategies, and real-time insights. All AI outputs are reviewable, explainable, and grounded in verifiable source data.

How often is your supplier research refreshed?

Teem’s agents continuously re-scan supplier websites and documentation, with higher-frequency refresh cycles for fast-changing vendors or product categories. Most suppliers are refreshed monthly, and many update more often depending on the volume of changes detected. This ensures customers see current product features, pricing signals, and market insights.

How is Teem different from using a chatbot like ChatGPT?

Teem differs from standard chatbots because our analysis is fully context aware of your environment. Teem understands your entire supplier and product landscape, your internal taxonomy, user feedback on specific tools, and your category and rationalization strategies. This means every feature comparison and recommendation is generated with an understanding of how your organization actually operates, what you already own, what your standards are, and what aligns with your long term plans. A general-purpose LLM like ChatGPT cannot access or maintain this level of contextual awareness.

Teem is also integrated directly into your procurement and IT workflows. Instead of generating a one-off comparison, Teem automatically applies your internal policies, category strategies, and stakeholder inputs to every purchase request and renewal. The result is consistent, repeatable, enterprise-aligned intelligence that supports real decisions end-to-end, not just a single output generated from a prompt.

How does Teem acquire data?

Teem continuously crawls and extracts information from supplier websites, product documentation, knowledge bases, security pages, PDFs, and other publicly available sources. Our AI models structure this unstructured data into a normalized, comparable format. We also ingest customer-provided data—such as contracts, usage data, and internal taxonomies.

What data do you store?

Teem stores supplier information gathered from publicly available sources and, if provided, customer-authorized data such as product lists, categories, or contracts. We do not store sensitive data unless explicitly supplied and approved by the customer. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and adheres to enterprise security and retention policies.

Does Teem support categories outside of software?

Yes. While Teem is optimized for software and technology suppliers, our intelligence layer can support adjacent categories such as professional services, hardware, and managed solutions. Customers can bring any internal taxonomy, and Teem will map suppliers and products accordingly.
