Wow, $20B for climate solutions in communities that need it, including $7B for the Climate United Fund led in part by our friends at Self-Help Credit Union with HQ in Durham.  Super!

Today, SJF Ventures is proud to announce our investment in Iron Sheepdog, a supply chain company focused on short haul trucking. Iron Sheepdog's impact extends beyond improving efficiency for the short haul industry, including: 

☑ Fewer wasted miles in short haul trucking and reduced emissions
☑ Empowerment of small businesses in the short haul trucking industry to scale and prosper, many of which are disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs)
☑ Greater transparency
☑ Increased safety throughout the short haul trucking process

Congratulations to the team at Iron Sheepdog! We look forward to supporting you as you reach your next phase of business growth.

SJF portfolio company DUOS has partnered with Humana on a new program to improve health outcomes among military Veterans in Louisiana. Through the initiative, Veteran members with chronic conditions will complete assessments to identify their individual health needs, and DUOS will match them with relevant benefits and resources. 

"This initiative is about breaking down barriers and unifying care,” said Karl Ulfers, DUOS' CEO and Co-Founder. “Veterans make countless sacrifices for our nation, and now it is our turn to demonstrate our gratitude by providing them with the highest quality of care.”
