J.P. Keating is founder and general partner of proChain Ventures, a pre-seed and seed fund based in Saint Louis investing in logistics, mobility, and physical AI. He spent 25 years inside Fortune 500 supply chains, including Boeing, Anheuser-Busch, and Allstate, before launching the fund in 2022. He led proChain's investments in Intramotev, which converts freight cars into autonomous battery-electric railcars, and Avol Aerospace, which flies medical cargo by autonomous drone. Keating argues supply chain startups need investors who understand the space rather than generalists.
