AI powered logistics and supply chain decision-making platform Loop bags $95m in Series C funding round
Loop, an AI platform for logistics and supply chains, has raised a $95 million Series C led by Valor Equity Partners and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with participation from 8VC, Founders Fund, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, and Tao Capital Partners.
The cash will help Loop expand its platform across a broader set of enterprise use cases, deepen its product and engineering capabilities, and invest in AI talent. The round brings its total funding to $210 million.
“We see every day how much pressure companies are under to manage supply chains through constant disruption, and how often critical decisions are still being made on top of fragmented data and brittle systems,” says Loop CEO and Co-founder Matt McKinney. “This investment lets us expand our platform and connect the financial and operational data that our customers need to make better decisions, faster.”
“Loop went deep into one of the hardest parts of the supply chain and turned it into an advantage for their customers,” says Antonio Gracias, Founder, CEO, and Chief Investment Officer at Valor.
“Through the AI systems they’ve built, they’re taking data that was previously fragmented and inaccessible and are turning it into intelligence that improves cost, processes, and working capital. That foundation extends into other operational and financial functions, which is why Loop is positioned to become the intelligence layer of the entire supply chain.”
Loop works with brands like Outset Medical, Clemens Food Group, Olipop, Kendra Scott, and Dot Foods. It says that it is aiming to become "the foundational platform for logistics and supply chain decision-making, helping businesses turn fragmented operational data into action across a comprehensive range of operational and financial decisions".
2026 RTIH Innovation Awards
AI will be a key focus area at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards.
The awards are now open for entries and celebrate global retail technology innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
Our winners will be revealed at the 2026 RTIH Innovation Awards Ceremony, taking place at The HAC in Central London on Wednesday, 4th November.
Check out our 2025 winners here.
Our 2025 hall of fame entrants were revealed during a sold out event which took place at The HAC on 16th October and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by award winning comedian, actress and writer Tiff Stevenson.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “This is the awards’ fifth year as a physical event. We started off with just 30 people at the South Place Hotel not far from here, then moved to London Bridge Hotel, then The Barbican, and last year RIBA’s HQ in the West End.”
“But I’m conscious of the fact that, to quote the legend that is Taylor Swift, You’re only as hot as your last hit, baby. So, this year we’ve moved to our biggest venue yet, and also pulled in our largest number of entries to date and broken attendance records.”
He added: “This year’s submissions have without doubt been our best yet. To quote one of the judges: The examples of innovative developments across both traditional and digital retail spaces were truly remarkable.”
Congratulations to our winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Tiff Stevenson, and all those who attended our 2025 gathering.
