Loop Raises $95M Series C to Automate Logistics, Freight Audit, and Supply Chain Payments with AI
Invoices pile up, shipments drift, and somewhere in the noise, billions get lost in translation. Not because companies are asleep at the wheel, but because the wheel is connected to 5 different systems that don’t speak the same language. Logistics isn’t broken. It’s fragmented. And fragmentation is expensive.
Loop just raised $95M in Series C funding, and the room leaned in for a reason. Matt McKinney and Shaosu Liu did not stumble into this problem. They lived it at Uber Freight, where chaos isn’t a bug, it’s a co-worker. Now they’re back with a system that doesn’t just read the room, it rewires it.
Led by Valor Equity Partners and the Valor Atreides AI Fund, with 8VC, Founders Fund, Index Ventures, J.P. Morgan Growth Equity Partners, and Tao Capital Partners all pulling up chairs, this round feels less like a bet and more like a recognition. The kind that says, yeah, this is where the puck is going, and it’s moving fast.
Loop’s play sits in a part of the business most people ignore until it breaks. Freight audit. Payments. The back office. The place where margins quietly disappear and nobody sends flowers. Loop walked in, turned on the lights, and handed the job to DUX, their AI model family that actually understands logistics language, not just generic prompts dressed up in a hard hat.
Outset Medical, Clemens Food Group, Olipop, Kendra Scott, Dot Foods. Not small names, not small problems. These are operators who don’t have time for theory. They need invoices processed, costs controlled, decisions made before the next truck even hits the dock. Loop’s system ingests the mess, structures it, and turns it into something you can act on without a committee and a prayer.
The subtle flex here is not just automation. It’s translation. Loop is taking fragmented operational and financial data and making it speak one language across ERP, TMS, WMS, and everything in between. That’s how you go from reacting to predicting. That’s how you stop chasing problems and start pricing them in before they show up.
The funding fuels more than growth. It sharpens the edge. More AI talent, deeper product muscle, broader reach across supplier data, compliance, procurement, the whole ecosystem. Not louder. Smarter. And in this market, smarter is the only thing that compounds.
