About

Noramay Cadena brings an unusual factory-to-MIT-to-VC trajectory as a teen mother who worked factory lines before earning multiple MIT degrees and spending a dozen years as a mechanical engineer at Boeing shipping complex products like satellites and the 787 Dreamliner. She co-founded MiLA Capital as one of LA's first hardware-focused venture firms with a 35,000-square-foot innovation lab, then launched Supply Change Capital around a FOODS investment framework targeting the 2045 demographic tipping point when multicultural consumers become the US majority.
