Augment Ventures recognizes the critical nature of the technology we’re building, and their investment partnership is helping Optilogic change the way companies make strategic supply chain decisions—from practitioners to boardroom discussions.

Augment has been a great investor and partner in helping us scale the company and navigate our pivot to private markets. The support comes from participating in all our financing rounds, but more important and invaluable has been the strategic advice and guidance.

Augment has been a valuable resource in evaluating our thought processes and providing constructive feedback. We see Sonali as an extended part of our team, bringing a wealth of experience and a critical lens. Sonali understands the current Fintech and Supply Chain Software landscape and has helped us navigate the very dynamic and hot supply chain finance space with customers, investors, and partners.

Augment brought institutional rigor to our business. Sonali guided us not only through the areas on which we needed to focus and change but also how we should go about doing it.

Guardhat and Augment Ventures are a solid match,” said Saikat Dey. “We are on a mission to improve the lives of the world’s 2B-plus deskless workers, starting with the industrial sector, tightly aligned to Augment’s mission to transform traditional industries and impact lives. What’s more, once I met Sonali, I immediately knew we needed her on our team. Seeing what she has built in her business and network, against odds, and values-based is simply inspiring. I am incredibly excited by what we can achieve together.

Disrupting the ocean trade of commodities does not require only exceptional industry expertise and mastery of digital technologies. It has been critical to complement our strengths with Augment’s capabilities to structure and execute our first institutional round in a very challenging capital market. Above all, Sonali’s entrepreneurial acumen and passionate leadership proved to be of incredible help when restructuring our corporate set up and get us ready for global scaling. We could not have better, more competent and approachable companions in our customer-obsessed journey.

Augment stepped up as the lead investor in our Series B round, which can be a challenge for a company with highly innovative technology. Their leadership at a critical time, and their continued support of the company and the team since then, has been instrumental to the ongoing success of the company.

Augment Ventures has consistently been there when we needed them the most. Sonali is a trusted advisor and someone who gets her hands dirty connecting one on one with individual people on our team.
