Charles Julius https://www.immoderata.com/team?ref=runtimewire and Jason Pesek https://www.linkedin.com/in/jasonpesek?utm source=openai&ref=runtimewire 's Loamy Technologies https://getloamy.com/?ref=runtimewire has sold $8.62 million of a planned $9.9 million equity offering, according to a Form D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2151623/000215162326000001/0002151623-26-000001-index.htm?ref=runtimewire on August 25th, 2026. Loamy is a Los Angeles software company applying a playbook its founders learned in construction and trucking: take an industry run through spreadsheets, paper forms and disconnected systems, then build a single operating layer around the people doing the physical work. Loamy is using that approach for growers, food manufacturers, packers, distributors and wholesalers handling products that expire, spoil or require lot-level traceability. Julius and Pesek worked together at Motive, the fleet-management software company formerly known as KeepTruckin. Julius had previously helped turn construction software maker Procore into a platform through its public API and app marketplace. Pesek moved through customer success and product roles at Motive, including work on compliance and mobile products. Their shared bet at Loamy is that the same kind of vertical software can reduce breakdowns between farms, warehouses, quality teams and buyers. A $9.9 million target, with $1.28 million still open The SEC filing https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2151623/000215162326000001/xslFormDX01/primary doc.xml?ref=runtimewire lists a total offering of $9,896,000 and says $8,620,276 had been sold to 15 investors. That puts Loamy at roughly 87% of its target, with $1,275,724 remaining when the notice was filed. The first sale occurred on August 12th, 13 days before the filing. Loamy is conducting the offering under Rule 506 b . The filing identifies Julius and Pesek as directors and Julius as Loamy's chief executive. The filing does not assign a valuation or identify a lead investor. Supply Change Capital said in January https://supplychangecapital.substack.com/p/our-investment-in-loamy?ref=runtimewire that it invested in Loamy alongside Zeal Capital Partners, Slauson & Co. and Amplify.LA. That account establishes Loamy's existing backers, though it does not break out which investors supplied the capital recorded in the August offering or how much each contributed. This is Loamy's first offering visible under its current SEC filer record. The Delaware corporation was formed in 2024, according to the filing, while public profiles date the operating company's start to 2023. The founders are bringing vertical software deeper into the physical economy Julius started his career as a healthcare attorney and financial analyst before moving into product. An Immoderata biography https://www.immoderata.com/team?ref=runtimewire says he joined Procore as its 104th employee and worked on Procore Connect, the company's public API, as well as its marketplace and partner strategy. He later joined Motive among its first 200 employees and built teams around professional services, API support and software partnerships. Pesek spent more than seven years at Motive, moving from customer success into product leadership. Supply Change Capital says the two founders were at Motive while its revenue grew from less than $10 million to more than $200 million. That growth figure comes from the investor, though the founders' experience building software for field operators is directly relevant to Loamy's product design. Food operations create a particularly unforgiving version of the workflow problem. A missing certificate or delayed quality check can leave a shipment sitting at a retailer's door while its usable life runs down. Inventory records also have to capture details that general-purpose accounting and warehouse products may treat as secondary, including lots, harvest dates, supplier approvals, inspections and recall records. Loamy is trying to put those records into one mobile-first system. Its product https://getloamy.com/?ref=runtimewire combines food safety and quality checks, inventory, order tracking, supplier management, financial workflows, pricing, mobile forms and harvest planning. Loamy says its platform also uses satellite imagery and vegetation data to identify crop stress, compare field estimates with actual harvests and help sales teams anticipate available volume. The AI label covers a specific part of a much larger ERP sale. Customers still have to move operational records into Loamy, connect existing accounting and warehouse systems, and persuade workers across fields, loading docks and offices to use the same workflows. Loamy says most implementations take weeks. That deployment claim has not been independently measured, and implementation speed will matter as the company moves beyond early customers into larger food businesses. Compliance gives Loamy an opening, though the deadline moved Loamy markets readiness for the Food and Drug Administration's Food Safety Modernization Act traceability rule, commonly called FSMA 204. The rule requires additional records for certain foods and is intended to help companies and regulators identify contaminated products faster. The regulatory clock has become less urgent. The rule's original compliance date was January 20th, 2026, but the FDA says Congress directed the agency not to enforce it before July 20th, 2028 https://www.fda.gov/food/food-safety-modernization-act-fsma/fsma-final-rule-requirements-additional-traceability-records-certain-foods?ref=runtimewire . That delay gives food companies more time to prepare and removes an immediate purchasing deadline for vendors selling compliance software. It also tests the breadth of Julius and Pesek's thesis. Loamy will have to sell customers on lower rejection rates, quicker recalls, reduced spoilage and better margins rather than relying on a near-term regulatory mandate. Supply Change Capital says Loamy has nearly a dozen paying customers, including Ready Pac, Evolution Fresh, Better Produce and DeBernardi Brothers. The investor also reports that customers cut product rejections by 50% and managed recalls 75% faster. Those figures are customer-reported results presented by an investor; Loamy has not published revenue, retention or standardized performance data. The customer names still give Loamy useful evidence that its founders can get software into working food operations. Loamy's own site displays Evolution Fresh and Bonduelle among the brands using or working with its platform, along with produce businesses and industry organizations. Loamy wants the system of record, not another compliance tab Food software already includes manufacturing ERPs such as Wherefour https://wherefour.com/food-manufacturing-software/?ref=runtimewire , safety and quality systems such as SafetyChain https://safetychain.com/?ref=runtimewire , and farm and harvest products such as Croptracker https://croptracker.com/product/harvest-management-software.html?ref=runtimewire . Loamy's pitch is that food companies should not have to stitch those categories together around a general-purpose ERP. Owning the combined record across inventory, quality, orders and finance would give Loamy a stronger position than a standalone AI feature. It would also make the software harder to replace once a customer has moved supplier records, operating procedures and transaction history onto the platform. Supply Change Capital said the financing will support engineering, go-to-market hiring and Loamy's AI product roadmap. The August filing shows Loamy has secured most of the proposed capital for that expansion. The harder job begins after the paperwork: proving that a system designed around perishable goods can become the daily operating layer for an industry where software failures end in rejected loads, spoiled inventory and recalls rather than a refreshable browser error.
