<p><b>NEA</b>, a global venture capital firm founded in 1977, brings decades of company-building experience in the technology sector.</p>
<p>“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 <b>Andrew Schoen, Partner Technology Investing Team, at NEA</b>.</p>
