The Future of Food Supply Chains Starts Here: Helios AI Secures $4.7M to Launch Helios Horizon
Today marks a milestone for Helios AI—and for the global food system we’re proud to serve.
We’re excited to announce two things: a $4.7 million seed raise led by Collide Capital with participation from S&P Global Ventures, Stray Dog Capital, Angeles VC, Equity Alliance, and Supply Change Capital—and the launch of Helios Horizon, the first-ever AI food supply chain analyst.
This isn’t just a company milestone. It’s a step toward a future where every distributor, CPG, retailer, and innovator in the agri-food system has access to insights once reserved for Wall Street.
Why We Built Helios Horizon
Helios Horizon’s AI Chatbot empowers you to ask, analyze, and act.
For too long, procurement leaders have been navigating in the dark—reacting to disruptions after they happen, rather than anticipating them before they arrive. Markets shift overnight. Climate events ripple unpredictably. Supply shocks leave businesses scrambling.
We built Helios Horizon to change that.
Just as the horizon marks the line where night meets day, Helios Horizon helps leaders see beyond uncertainty and into what’s ahead—forecasting price movements, anticipating climate risk, and surfacing hidden supply chain disruptions before they hit.
With Helios Horizon, we’re not just giving you data. We’re giving you foresight—the clarity to prepare, the confidence to act, and the light to guide your business into a new era of resilience.
As our CEO Francisco Martin-Rayo puts it: “It’s like having a team of Bloomberg analysts in your pocket 24/7.”
What Makes Helios Horizon Different
Helios Horizon is the first AI co-pilot built for food supply chains, combining billions of signals—from historical yields to climate data to real-time news.
Covers 75+ agricultural commodities and 2,500+ price series
Delivers insights in minutes, not weeks
Offers price forecasts 5x more accurate than industry competitors
Available starting at just $299/month
With Horizon, a cocoa trader can ask, “What’s the outlook for this season?” and get a comprehensive report and key takeaways in minutes—something that might take analysts weeks to pull together. For the first time, enterprise-grade foresight is within reach for everyone: from independent growers and local restaurants to regional distributors and global retailers.
Powering the Next Phase of Growth
This $4.7M seed round gives us the fuel to expand our team, accelerate product innovation, and bring Horizon to even more customers across the agri-food ecosystem. We’re grateful to our investors who see what we see: a future where democratized intelligence levels the playing field and helps secure the global food supply chain.
“Helios AI levels the playing field for smaller food companies, unlocking enterprise-grade insights that have historically been out of reach. In a market measured in the trillions and undergoing rapid transformation, that kind of democratization is not just disruptive—it’s inevitable.”
