Map-Collective

I wasn’t expecting a mic-drop moment today… but then it happened.

At , the Deputy Administrator of the SBA got on stage and said something that stopped the room:

“For food supply and critical minerals, supply chain resilience is our top priority… and we are deploying capital across ALL agencies, not just ours.”
— Bill Briggs, SBA

You could feel every founder, investor, and operator instantly lock in.

Because that sentence means one thing:
The window for exponential growth in our industry is now.

—masterfully hosted by K Street Capital and the incredible Paige Soya —felt like a catalyst point.

A collision of founders, funders, and thinkers who are quietly (or not so quietly) shaping the next decade of American innovation.

If today was the spark, the next year will be the wildfire.

🔥 Stay tuned. Map Collective has some big things coming in supply chain resilience.

While most people are still arguing about whether we can ever get good scope 3 data...

Tara Gupta and Issac Hicks are over here building ai agents, reinventing how visibility and interoperability work together.

Think of this as a glimpse of where the market could be headed...

Map Collective is pushing for a world where reporting is something we barely think about.. and where insights are what drive action.”

Thanks Tom Idle and Oliver Hurrey for the opportunity to discuss the launch of our new system, G.R.I.D. (Global Resource Intelligence Database), the first ever free, agentic ai traceability system for making supplier survey fatigue a system of the past.
