Loamy Raises $6M Seed for Food Supply Chain Operations

An early warning about browning gives a produce seller a different assignment: find the buyer who can still use the crop. Loamy, a Los Angeles food supply-chain software company, is building that connection between quality information and commercial decisions into its operations platform.

Loamy's October 27 announcement disclosed $6M in Seed funding led by Zeal Capital Partners, with Slauson & Co., Supply Change Capital and Amplify.LA participating. The company reports $10M in total funding and plans to expand engineering, go-to-market capacity and its AI roadmap into additional food categories. The financing supports a practical ambition: help food businesses act while a harvest still has several possible destinations.

Why Loamy connects quality information with sales

The buyer's specification helps determine where a load belongs. Condition, size, documentation and delivery requirements can turn the same crop into an acceptable order for one customer and an expensive rejection for another. Bringing those requirements into a shared operating record gives quality and sales teams a way to discuss the same inventory before someone commits it to a journey.

Loamy's guidance on reducing rejections emphasizes supplier information, accessible specifications and checks before shipment. The commercial implication extends beyond passing an inspection. Earlier information can preserve the chance to change the destination, processing route or customer while those choices remain available.

That creates a demanding software assignment. A warning buried in a quality workflow has limited value to a salesperson who never sees it; a sales promise built on stale condition data can make trouble for the people loading the truck. Loamy's proposition depends on bringing those decisions close enough together that the people involved can work from compatible information.

For a grower or distributor evaluating the platform, the useful question is specific: where does a quality finding enter the order decision? A demonstration that follows one lot from inspection through customer selection can reveal more about that handoff than a long feature list. This is an evaluation approach suggested by the product's design, rather than a claim that every deployment already operates that way.

What the founders bring from operational software

Loamy's current team page identifies Charles Julius as co-founder and CEO and Jason Pesek as co-founder and COO. The company says they founded Loamy in 2024. Their earlier work offers a reason to look closely at how the software reaches the people expected to use it.

Slauson & Co.'s investment essay describes their shared history at Motive and Charles Julius's earlier work building Procore's app marketplace. That background places the founders inside businesses where software has to survive contact with field operations and several participants' working habits. Food adds another source of pressure: the thing being tracked can change condition while the record stays perfectly still.

The founders' assignment therefore reaches beyond improving a screen. The person entering inspection information, the person promising inventory and the person responsible for supplier paperwork need the record to carry meaning between their jobs. An operations platform earns a place in the business through those repeated exchanges, especially when staff have little time to reconstruct why an earlier decision was made.

Investors are financing that organizational challenge alongside the technology. Supply Change Capital's January investment account places Loamy inside a thesis about connecting food workflows and data. Its earlier publication also matters for capital accounting: the October announcement provides the disclosed amount and public announcement date, while the reviewed materials leave the legal closing timetable and previous-round breakdown unsettled.

How the product approaches a changing harvest

Loamy advertises an integrated platform covering food safety, quality, inventory, orders, financial operations, harvest planning and mobile forms. Its satellite-imagery explanation describes using field observations to inform crop estimates and distribution decisions. The company positions those functions as connected parts of running a food business.

The funding announcement adds a more detailed description of the AI work. Loamy says its software uses imagery and infrared analysis to flag field problems, assesses condition from photos and reads supplier documents. It also describes lot-level traceability and phone or tablet access that can operate without a cell signal. These are company descriptions of capabilities; the reviewed sources provide no independent detection-accuracy benchmark.

The attraction for an operator is continuity from an observation to an action. A field signal can inform an expected harvest, a quality check can affect which inventory is suitable, and a customer requirement can influence where that inventory should go. Connecting those steps makes the platform relevant to several departments while increasing the importance of clear responsibility when information changes.

That breadth also shapes the buying decision. A company considering Loamy can examine which existing systems must exchange data, which staff will enter it and who can correct a mistaken record. Those questions follow directly from combining quality and commercial workflows. They give a buyer a way to assess operational fit without assuming that an integrated product description settles the details of implementation.

Where the Seed capital meets the customer relationship

Loamy says its customers have reduced product rejections by 50%. The announcement also reports more than 30x annual recurring revenue growth over the preceding year, but gives no absolute revenue figure or supporting customer cohort. Those company-reported figures indicate the outcomes management wants buyers and investors to examine, with the rejection rate tied most directly to the operating problem.

A customer can pursue that claim through its own records: which loads were rejected, why they failed and whether an earlier intervention could have changed the result. Separating documentation failures from condition failures matters because they call for different actions. A software supplier selling both quality and sales coordination has an opportunity to make that distinction useful before the next order leaves.

The company says the financing will support engineering and go-to-market teams, develop its AI roadmap and extend into more food categories. Each category brings its own combination of perishability, buyer specifications and staff routines. Expansion asks Loamy to carry a recognizable operating idea into businesses whose daily decisions may look quite different.

Charles Julius and Jason Pesek now have more resources behind that work. The customer relationship continues wherever someone notices a crop changing and someone else has a buyer who could still use it. Loamy's opportunity travels through the conversation between those people, while there is time to change where the food goes.
