TYSONS, VA – September 22, 2025 – Helios AI, a prominent innovator in enhancing supply chain resilience within the agri-food sector, today announced a significant milestone: the successful closure of a $4.7 million funding round. This capital injection coincides with the launch of its first-ever AI co-pilot, a revolutionary tool poised to transform how food supply chains anticipate and mitigate disruptions.
The newly introduced AI co-pilot is an industry-first, uniquely combining sophisticated price forecasting capabilities with comprehensive climate predictions. This integrated approach empowers agri-food businesses to gain unprecedented visibility and control over their sourcing strategies, ultimately working towards the company’s core mission: to prevent food supply shortages before they occur.
Helios AI’s advanced platform leverages artificial intelligence to analyze billions of real-time signals. It meticulously processes daily and historical climate data from over 14 million locations worldwide, tracking agricultural conditions across more than 150 countries. Furthermore, the system continuously monitors 250,000 global news sources, updating every 15 minutes, and employs machine learning models specifically tailored for each commodity. This granular level of data analysis allows for highly accurate predictions regarding supply availability and price fluctuations.
The benefits of this technology extend across the agri-food ecosystem, serving consumer product goods companies, restaurant chains, commodity traders, distributors, wholesalers, and food processors and manufacturers. By providing real-time insights and unparalleled transparency, Helios AI enables these stakeholders to proactively identify potential supply disruptions, anticipate commodity price shifts, and make more informed decisions about when and where to source their agricultural products.
