In recent years, supply chain issues and labor shortages have broadened demand for startups developing technologies that reduce shipping costs, enhance visibility, automate warehouse operations and improve decision-making in supply chain processes.

VCs poured a record $58.4 billion into global supply chain tech startups in 2021, including notable mega-deals for Gopuff and Nuro. The largest deals attracted a cohort of repeat investors in the space, including Tiger Global, SoftBank, Sequoia and Temasek.

However, investor enthusiasm in the sector has slackened this year amid decreased global VC investment and a depressed stock market. During the second quarter, VCs invested $8.6 billion in the industry, down nearly 40% compared to both Q1 2022 and Q2 of last year, according to PitchBook's latest Supply Chain Tech Report.

Here are the most active global investors in VC-backed supply chain tech deals since 2017.
