Now it's optimizing for intelligence and the difference is more profound than it sounds.Capital, data and execution are finally converging. Venture investors are backing startups that bring AI-driven forecasting, automation and end-to-end visibility into the daily mechanics of moving goods. These aren't moonshot technologies; they're pragmatic tools designed to reduce friction and anticipate shocks before they cascade.Freight brokerage tells the story clearly. What was once a business of phone calls and spreadsheets now operates on intelligent platforms that match shippers and carriers in real-time, dynamically optimize routes and deliver transparent pricing. It's fundamentally more responsive.Third-party logistics providers are evolving in parallel, transitioning from vendors to strategic partners that strike a balance between efficiency and resilience. The old model treated logistics as a commodity. The new one recognizes it as infrastructure that either enables or constrains everything else a business does.The market reflects this maturation: supply chain venture capital is projected to reach $529.2 billion by 2030, growing at an annual rate of 13.84 percent. Freight brokerage services are expected to expand by $124.31 billion at 8.48 percent, while 3PL services grow to $48.59 billion at 6.13 percent.For an industry built on moving things, logistics itself is finally moving, toward anticipation, adaptation and genuine intelligence.This magazine features thought leadership articles from Rob Trice, Founding Partner at Better Food Ventures and Steve Westly, Managing Partner of The Westly Group, who share insights on digital traceability and green accounting, as well as open data frameworks that enable resilient and sustainable commerce.In this edition, featuring leaders redefining supply chain venture capital, freight brokerage service providers and 3PL service providers, we hope you find the right partner to meet your organization's needs.Let us know your thoughts!
