Tailor Expands Series A to $22M with Private-Public Support
JIC VGI and NEA join the round with expanded investment from Y Combinator
SAN FRANCISCO--( BUSINESS WIRE )-- Tailor, a headless ERP platform for modern retail businesses, announced an additional close of its Series A round, bringing the total raised to $22 million. The new investors include JIC Venture Growth Investments (JIC VGI), a Japanese government-backed investment fund, and New Enterprise Associates (NEA). Y Combinator , which participated in Tailor’s seed round, also increased its investment.
This second close reflects growing global demand for flexible, API-first business systems that help enterprises move beyond the limitations of monolithic ERPs.
“Legacy ERP systems weren’t designed for the speed or complexity of today’s operations,” said Yo Shibata, CEO and Cofounder of Tailor. “Operators need systems that evolve as quickly as their business does. With the continued support of world-class partners like JIC, NEA, and Y Combinator, we’re accelerating our mission to deliver a modular, developer-ready ERP that gives companies real control over how they operate.”
JIC VGI, Japan’s government-backed investment fund, accelerates innovation through venture and growth investment activities that improve international competitiveness and resolve Japan's industrial and social issues.
“As a government-backed investment fund, JIC VGI is proud to support Tailor’s composable approach to ERP, which represents the kind of digital transformation that can improve long-term competitiveness in Japan,” said Takashi Kimura from JIC VGI. “We’re excited to enable Tailor’s vision for strengthening business resilience and corporate competitiveness by building agile digital infrastructure.”
NEA, a global venture capital firm founded in 1977, brings decades of company-building experience in the technology sector.
“Tailor’s platform serves an increasingly complex supply chain landscape and we believe Tailor has the potential to rethink the ERP systems that power global commerce and operational agility,” said Andrew Schoen, Partner Technology Investing Team, at NEA.
Tailor enables mid-market and enterprise companies to build and evolve their own ERP stack with speed and flexibility. Its composable, headless architecture decouples the data and logic layer from the user interface, allowing for highly customizable workflows and easy integration with best-of-breed SaaS tools.
With Tailor, companies can:
- Orchestrate cross-system workflows with customizable modules for inventory, purchasing, fulfillment, finance, and more
- Replace or integrate with legacy systems without re-architecting core infrastructure
- Give developers and AI agents programmatic access to business logic and operational data
- Deliver internal tools or customer-facing experiences with custom UIs
This new funding will support:
- U.S. go-to-market expansion with a focus on mid-market and enterprise customers
- Ongoing product development and extensibility across core modules
- Strategic partnerships and customer success investment in Japan
This latest milestone reflects growing confidence in Tailor’s ability to modernize core business infrastructure — and affirms the company’s position as a leading platform for agile, composable enterprise systems in a rapidly evolving global market.
