github.comSan Francisco startup Loop announced it has raised $95 million in a Series C funding round. The funding aims to advance its AI system designed to predict disruptions in supply chains. The round was led by Valor, an investment firm founded by Antonio Gracias, which also backs xAI.
Loop's AI tools help customers identify potential losses in money or time, as well as risks related to over- or under-supplying products. The system integrates with enterprise resource planning software, transportation management systems, and data from suppliers and warehouses. This allows for improved cost management, processes, and working capital.
Investment Details Valor founder, CEO, and
chief investment officer Antonio Gracias said in a statement, “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.
The firm conducted diligence on the defensibility of Loop's business model. Loop views the investment as validation, given Valor's involvement with xAI, founded by Elon Musk.
