Supply Chain Ventures

What is Supply Chain Ventures?

Supply Chain Ventures is an American venture capital firm specializing in investments in innovative technologies within operations and supply chain sectors. The fund primarily focuses on companies that are leveraging AI/ML enabled software to enhance supply chain functions.

Supply Chain Ventures firmly believes that understanding and investment experience in the industry, as well as having a functional prototype, are crucial for the potential investees. The company is not merely interested in ideas, instead, they seek out entrepreneurs with significant industry experience and offerings beyond the conceptual stage.

With its investment range from $25,000 to $10,000,000, and a sweet spot around $500,000, Supply Chain Ventures supports companies at various stages including Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B. Operated by professionals with longstanding expertise, Supply Chain Ventures serves as a value-added partner by leveraging their C-suite level operating experience, extensive global strategy, and vast networks within major global supply chain companies.

The fund showcases a hybrid approach, engaging in both early and late-stage investments with a long-term capital perspective. Historical investments suggest a preference for industry-disrupting, fast-growing supply chain businesses that demonstrate strong product-market fit, achieving revenues between $5 million to $100+ million. Supply Chain Ventures typically takes minority stakes and prefers not to lead rounds.

Their investment portfolio is concentrated in North America and Europe, often co-investing with leading global venture capital and private equity firms. Through their partnerships, they have been instrumental in backing supply chain founders for over two decades.

Additionally, team members at Supply Chain Ventures hold significant board of director memberships in numerous supply chain companies, reflecting their deep embeddedness and influence within the industry.
