Overview
Uptool is an AI software startup on a mission to accelerate U.S. manufacturing operations and productivity. Uptool's AI software is built for small, high-mix manufacturers like machine and fabrication shops to ensure they can move faster, operate more efficiently, and grow with confidence. These SMB manufacturers power our industrial economy, but are too often slowed by manual paper processes, fragmented systems, and front-office bottlenecks that limit the shop's ability to win -- before production even begins. We started where speed matters most -- the interface between manufacturers and their customers. Uptool's AI-engine automates 90% of quoting workflows: RFQ detection, document analysis and extraction, and draft estimation while organizing data and customer communication, so shop owners can win more work without adding overhead. Uptool is committed to developing the operating system that enables small, high-mix manufacturers to move fast and compete. Founded in 2024 in San Mat
