Ex-Angi CEO launches Keychain, a platform for packaged food brands to find manufacturers

Keychain uses the latest in generative AI on the backend to organize and enable precise searches across this massive volume of data.

Last year, we reported that Angi ’s former CEO and chief product officer Oisin Hanrahan had raised an $18 million seed round to found a new company, Keychain, dedicated to building an AI-powered web platform that could better connect consumer packaged goods (CPGs) retailers in the U.S. — namely, large grocery chains selling in-house brands — with the manufacturers who actually make and package the food items those retailers sell. This massive trove of data — collected by the Keychain team’s scraping and discussions with CPG manufacturers about the many different and unique steps of their processes — is all analyzed and organized by AI on the backend: three different machine learning models, to be specific. Keychain has already won endorsements from Paul Voge, co-founder and CEO of Aura Bora, and Kelly McGoldrick, chief customer officer at Wyandot Snacks, who commended the platform for enabling the sharing of production process and capacity information — novel features in the industry.
