What Could a New Global Crisis Mean for Supply Chain Investments

Funding for supply chain and logistics startups dropped 78% since its peak in 2021, with under $6 billion raised across 741 deals in the past year. This decrease contrasts with nearly $28 billion raised in 2021 through 1,554 deals, reflecting a shift from pandemic-era investments. The downturn aligns with the stabilization of logistics needs following pandemic disruptions. Fewer than a dozen deals exceeded $100 million last year, with notable rounds including Flexport's $260 million from Shopify and Altana AI's $200 million Series C. Future geopolitical tensions and crises may renew interest in this sector as businesses seek new technology solutions, potentially incorporating AI for logistics challenges. Companies are expected to reassess technology and digital solutions for operational adaptation. Despite the rebound in other startup investments, logistics and supply chain management face ongoing challenges.
