Funding from Broadway Angels highlights rare partnership between woman-owned technology company and women investment group
Interos, the fast-growing supply chain risk management and operational resilience technology company, announced that Broadway Angels, a select group of world-class women technology investors, has made a $6.5 million investment in the company.
The investment follows the $100 million Series C financing Interos closed in July led by NightDragon, and building on prior investment rounds from noted VC firms Kleiner Perkins and Venrock, among others. The round valued the business at $1 billion, vaulting the company to unicorn status. The Interos artificial intelligence-powered solution analyzes billions of data points in real-time. It helps enterprises in all sectors manage crippling supply chain risks and disruptions that cost enterprise companies $184 million annually from lost revenue.

Interos Founder and CEO Jennifer Bisceglie said the company will use the funding to extend its product offering, expand its available data sets, which already constitute the world’s largest business relationship database, and continue to invest in ground-breaking AI.
“Broadway Angels invests in the best companies in the best markets, and we’re thrilled to invest in Interos,” said Sonja Perkins, co-founder of Broadway Angels. “The past year has highlighted the vulnerability of the global supply chain and Interos provides the solution that gives organizations real time visibility that is essential to business continuity in today’s world.”
“Jennifer Bisceglie is a visionary and pioneer in applying artificial intelligence to supply chain risk management,” shared Marcie Vu, who led the investment in Interos for Broadway Angels. “Interos is helping customers solve a critical problem with global reach at massive scale.”

Based in San Francisco, Broadway Angels invests in innovative technology and consumer companies disrupting their industries, such as 128 Technology, BetterUp, BitSight, Hint, Outreach, and The RealReal. Broadway Angels includes more than 60 leading women venture capitalists, entrepreneurs and executives. The firm invests 50% of its capital in female-operated companies. Businesses with all-women founding teams accounted for only 2.3% of the funding raised across all industries last year.
“I couldn’t be more excited to have Broadway Angels on board with us,” Bisceglie said. “The partnership presents a unique opportunity to demonstrate how a woman-led investment group and a woman-led business can support one another, especially in an area that has long lacked female representation.”
