Supply Change Capital

Supply Change Capital believes in a future of food that is sustainability mindful, supply chain efficient, better for you, and culture rich. We invest at the intersection of food, culture, and technology to catalyze early stage sustainable businesses that modernize the food system. 

The firm is led by two GPs who combine food domain expertise with tech and investing experience. Noramay Cadena is an aerospace engineer turned investor. She previously launched an early stage fund that invested in over 20 manufacturing and supply chain companies. Shayna Harris brings an insider's eye to the industry, from architecting the 21st-century chocolate supply chain at Mars to building the groundbreaking food tech company Farmer’s Fridge. She advises Fortune 100 companies and startups on navigating the fast-changing food terrain, and writes for Forbes. The duo have 40 investments between them and 2 investments in the Supply Change portfolio.
 
The firm is based in Chicago and Los Angeles.

Helios leverages advanced technology to analyze billions of signals in real-time for their enterprise clients. They can analyze data at the farm and facility level, empowering customers to proactively prepare for supply chain disruptions.

Case in point: In December 2023, European potato prices rose as heavy rains sunk potato spuds, limiting supplies during a high demand period for this Christmas-dinner staple. Farmers sidelined tractors, which have difficulty navigating waterlogged fields, limiting collection. The crops risked rotting if left too long.

Helios flagged this type of disruption in advance, predicting the precipitation impacting potatoes in mid-to-late October – weeks before the price of processed potatoes rose to an all time seasonal high. The information helps mitigate millions of dollars in potential price increases from the bad harvest.

We share this and more in our 2023 Impact Report. For the full report, see the link in bio and at: bit.ly/SCCImpact2023
