From farms to algorithms… the supply chain is being rewritten.

In this episode of the Exponential Growth Podcast, I sit down with Francisco Martin Rayo, CEO & Co-Founder of Helios AI, a company at the center of one of the biggest shifts happening right now: the intersection of AI, agriculture, and global supply chains.

Backed by Angeles Investors and recently featured in the Wall Street Journal, Helios AI is doing something powerful… predicting disruptions before they happen and helping companies protect billions in supply chain decisions.

We go deep into:
 • How AI is transforming agriculture into a predictive system
 • Why supply chain disruptions are accelerating (and what most people are missing)
 • Who Helios is really built for and why it matters
 • The hidden global risks impacting food prices and availability
 • The rise of AI copilots, agent-to-agent systems, and what this means for the future of work
 • How leaders, investors, and operators should think in an exponential world

One of the biggest takeaways:
The future isn’t just optimizing supply chains. It’s anticipating them before they break.

If you’re thinking about AI, investing, or where the world is heading next, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
