Loop secures $95 million to enhance AI-driven supply chain predictions and expand enterprise adoption

Loop, the San Francisco-based AI startup focused on logistics and supply chains, has raised $95 million in a Series C round as it looks to broaden its platform and hire more engineering talent. The deal was led by Valor Equity Partners and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with backing from 8VC, Founders Fund, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners and Tao Capital Partners.

The company is positioning itself as more than a tool for cleaning up messy data. Its software is d...

esigned to turn fragmented inputs – from paper documents and unstructured messages to enterprise systems and supplier records – into usable information that can help customers spot inefficiencies, reduce waste and anticipate disruption before it bites. Loop says that by connecting data from ERP platforms, transport management systems, warehouses and suppliers, it can move beyond diagnosis and into prediction.

That ambition appears to have resonated with investors at a moment when supply chains remain under pressure from tariffs, supplier diversification, higher energy costs and the lingering problem of siloed operational data. According to Loop, the funding will support expansion across a wider set of enterprise use cases, as well as investment in product, engineering and AI recruitment.

Co-founder and CTO Shaosu Liu has said the goal is to offer something closer to a preventive service than a simple audit, with the system aiming to recommend actions rather than merely highlighting problems. Co-founder and chief executive Matt McKinney has argued the technology is advancing faster than expected, giving the company room to push deeper into higher-value decision support.

Valor founder Antonio Gracias said the firm saw Loop’s work as creating an intelligence layer for supply chains, with the potential to improve cost control, processes and working capital. The endorsement is notable given Valor’s wider exposure to frontier AI through its support for Elon Musk’s xAI.

Loop’s backers are betting that the company can build a durable advantage in a crowded field where startups and incumbents alike are pushing into artificial intelligence for freight, customs and supply chain automation. For Loop, the wager is that companies willing to adopt the technology early will be better placed to manage volatility and extract lasting gains from a system that is still heavily constrained by manual processes and poor visibility.
