“Our platform addresses the critical issues of projects going over time and budget, which amounts to almost $400 billion in annual spend in the U.S. due to procurement inefficiencies,” said Colucci. “Our goal is to transform these antiquated processes, making them more efficient and affordable.”
Colucci co-founded Bundle in 2021 with Stanford Business School classmate Edison Ding. The company has quickly positioned itself as a leader in digital procurement solutions. Their platform, designed specifically for the SMB residential space, enhances efficiency by running purchasing processes at 10x speed and reducing product costs by 10-20%.
