Auger Relocates HQ to Texas Amid Talent Concerns
Auger, a supply chain technology startup co-founded by former Amazon exec Dave Clark, is relocating its headquarters to Texas. The company will maintain a major engineering office in Bellevue, Washington, where it was founded in 2024.
The move, which was first reported by D CEO in Dallas, is driven by the need for talent and family considerations, not tax advantages. Clark, who spent 23 years at Amazon before leaving to start Auger, noted that Texas has a more central location for corporate customers across the country.
Auger has raised $150 million, including a $50 million Series B round led by Eclipse in July. Its software connects systems used by companies to run their supply chains, integrating AI to automate them. Customers include Meta, Fanatics, and Kimberly-Clark.
The company's new HQ is located in North Dallas, with about 15 people currently based there. Clark expects the office to grow to 20 to 30 more employees by the middle of next year.
