For reasons not completely clear, venture capital funding for supply chain companies has collapsed in 2023 and year-to-date here in 2024.

As can be seen in the chart below from the Crunchbase web site, such start-up financing has declined sharply since its high of $14.7 billion in 2021 to just $3.5 billion in 2023 and the level of investment is on pace to fall below that in 2024:
