By signal type in this sector
By stage
In Q1 2026, we are tracking 16 supply chain startups with measurable GitHub engineering signals. 9 of 16 show positive commit velocity growth. The most common signal type is "Framework migration", observed in 10 of the tracked companies. The average 14-day commit velocity across the sector is 35 commits, with opensourcepos leading at 52 commits (+5100% change). These patterns have historically preceded fundraise announcements by three to six weeks.
opensourcepos leads the supply chain sector in Q1 2026 with 52 commits over a 14-day window, representing a +5100% change from the prior period. With 100 active contributors, opensourcepos is showing a "Deploy frequency spike" pattern — one of the more reliable leading indicators of a significant product milestone or fundraise.
Among the 16 supply chain startups we track, EU accounts for the highest concentration with 5 teams. Startups digitizing logistics, procurement, and inventory management. Geographic distribution matters for investors because engineering talent clusters correlate with sector-specific domain expertise and proximity to early adopter customers.
