Tagup has locked in $14.8M in Series A funding, a fresh infusion for the MIT-born defense tech outfit that’s been quietly building AI tools for military logistics. The round backs a company whose pitch is less about flashy hardware and more about squeezing smarter decisions out of constrained supply chains.
Founded in 2017 and tied to MIT’s Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Tagup sells a decision engine called Manifest® that simulates logistics courses of action under real-world friction-think contested supply routes or degraded networks. It’s already a trusted partner of the U.S. military, and the new capital is aimed at scaling that work across the full logistics chain, from maintenance to mobilization. The investors behind this round weren’t disclosed, but the size suggests serious conviction in a niche where readiness often hinges on software that just works.
