Category Standard

Partly is a high-potential, venture-backed company (Series A, ~$20M+ funding) tackling a significant global problem in automotive parts data standards. While the project itself possesses high real-world utility, strong investor backing (Blackbird, Dylan Field), and significant market relevance, the submission provided contained several low-quality, inaccurate, or lazy inputs (e.g., claiming audience is 'everyone' and traction is 'most people have used my product'). The score reflects the underlying strength of the business adjusted downward for the poor quality of the submission data.

Description
Partly's mission is to connect the world's parts and we're doing that by building the first global platform for replacement parts, starting with auto parts. Our big vision is to accelerate the world towards a sustainable future where waste is eliminated and all replacement parts are universally searchable, accessible and available to all.\n\nWe've more than tripled our team over the last 12 months and expect to double in size again over the coming 12 months. We're a global team spanning both Europe and Australasia. Founded by ex-Rocket Lab engineers, we utilise bleeding-edge technology to solve challenging but exciting problems that make a huge impact in a $1.9 trillion industry.\n\nWe provide a scalable digital infrastructure solution to some of the world's largest businesses and the most exciting startups. Partly's solutions are integrated across hundreds of companies globally, providing the backbone for cataloguing and managing parts online.\n\nBlackbird Ventures (Canva, CultureAmp etc.) led both our Pre-Seed and Seed rounds, alongside I2BF (NYC), Hillfarrance, Icehouse, Peter Beck (Rocket Lab), Akshay Kothari (Notion Co-Founder) and Dylan Field (Figma Co-Founder).\n\nWe're continuing to build a world-class team and ensuring Partly is a place where people can do the best work of their lives. We're proud of the culture we've built at Partly, and our values are lived throughout every experience.
