Loop Secures $95 Million Series C to Transform Supply Chain AI Intelligence

Vertical AI for the Physical Economy

Loop, a San Francisco-based AI platform for logistics and supply chains, announced a $95 million Series C funding round on April 17, 2026. Led by Valor Equity Partners and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, the investment aims to scale the company's specialized models across global operations. High-profile backers including 8VC, Founders Fund, and J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners joined the round to support Loop’s mission of unifying fragmented data.

CEO Matt McKinney founded the company in 2021 after observing how much critical supply chain decision-making relies on brittle systems and siloed information. Loop addresses these inefficiencies by turning unstructured data into a usable system of intelligence through its proprietary DUX technology. This approach allows enterprises to regain financial visibility and unlock working capital that was previously trapped in back-office errors.

At the heart of the platform is DUX, a logistics-native AI family of models designed for document understanding and execution. DUX creates a digital twin of transportation networks by ingesting everything from multi-page PDFs to handwritten bills of lading. By structuring this data, Loop helps brands like Olipop and Kendra Scott reduce costs and improve network visibility. While Loop is rapidly expanding, it operates in a competitive field alongside established players like project44 and Flexport. Some industry observers suggest that Flexport’s broader logistics ecosystem offers more end-to-end control, yet Loop’s specialized focus on deep financial data integrity provides a unique advantage. The company plans to use the new capital to grow its engineering team and expand into trade compliance and warehouse operations. Ultimately, the Series C round signals strong investor confidence in deep tech for the supply chain. By moving beyond simple freight audit and payment, Loop intends to become the foundational platform for all logistics decision-making. The company is betting that verticalized, agentic AI will be the key to navigating the higher energy costs and supplier diversification challenges of the modern economy.
