The industry behind everything is changing in public.

Stories, exits, funding news, and field notes from the supply chain tech companies rebuilding how things move.

Everything around you got there on a truck. These are the people, companies, and ideas changing what happens before it reaches the person waiting.

Supply Chain Tech VC of the Year. Back to back.

We’ve done it again. Venture 53 has been recognized as Top Supply Chain Venture Capital Company 2025 by Logistics Transportation Review — a nod not...

Qued and Prime Move Dock Scheduling Forward

Venture 53 portfolio company Qued partners with Prime Inc. to automate refrigerated-fleet appointment scheduling, reducing manual booking work, cutting detention, scaling after early success, and processing 23,000+ appointments with booking time down 90%.

Why Freight Fraud Became a Venture Problem

Freight liability is shifting from policy to proof. With every carrier selection, customs filing, warehouse release, and shipment handoff now exposed, Venture 53 portfolio companies like Highway, FreightRoll, Warehowz, PAXAFE and MyCarrier show why defensible freight infrastructure is venture-scale.

DEXA Brings Real Drone Delivery to Real Doors

DEXA’s oversubscribed $15M seed round, backed by Venture 53, accelerates at-home drone delivery in major metros, pairing FAA approvals with local-retail focus to bring faster, greener logistics directly to customers’ real front doors nationwide.

GenLogs Exit Marks Another Proof Point for the Thesis

GenLogs is exactly the kind of freight-tech outcome Venture 53 was built to find early: a sector-specific, data-rich platform attacking fragmentation, fraud, and visibility gaps in U.S. trucking. Our exit turns that company momentum into realized value for LPs and reinforces the core V53 thesis.

Portfolio Companies Named to FreightTech 100 and FreightTech 25

FreightWaves’ 2026 FreightTech 100 again validates Venture 53’s supply-chain thesis: 7–9 portfolio companies ranked among freight tech’s top innovators for a third straight year, proving repeatable winner selection at scale.

The industry noticed. Now we're becoming the first stop for supply chain funding.
