St. Louis-based venture capital firm proChain Ventures is investing in two St. Louis-based companies that have the potential to advance supply chain transformation, security and resiliency. These investments and startup advice for companies seeking capital to advance their supply chain innovations were the focus of a virtual FreightWeekSTL 2025 panel session released on June 3. The virtual panel session sponsored by St. Louis Regional Freightway featured J.P. Keating. He discussed proChain Venture’s investments in Intramotev and AVOL – which he considers two of the most exciting startups in the St. Louis region right now. Keating is the Managing Partner at proChain Ventures, a business which specializes in investing in critical technologies in the supply chain and logistics sector.
With more than 25 years of previous Fortune 500 experience in supply chain innovation, corporate startups, collaboration and corporate ventures, Keating uses his professional expertise to connect supply chain technology startup companies with large enterprises. Keating said the Midwest is one of the most ideal locations to build a supply chain venture firm based on his career experience with St. Louis-based companies ranging from Boeing and Anheuser Busch to Ameren and ConAgra, and the freight and logistics assets found in the region. Those same assets, he said, are what also attract innovators.
