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.

• Deep focus on the future of food and sustainability, particularly how technology impacts what we eat. Tweets often draw parallels between established green industries and new food tech, such as comparing investment in renewable energy to the potential of alternative proteins. There is also specific interest in technical processes like fermentation and how they change the production of staple foods.
• Strong advocacy for Latinx representation within the venture capital ecosystem. Frequently shares statistics regarding the low percentage of Latino investors in the industry and actively promotes summits or organizations dedicated to changing those numbers. This extends to highlighting the achievements of Latino entrepreneurs and emphasizing the importance of diverse general partners in funds.

Critiques technology that fails to account for diverse living situations, such as smart home devices that do not accommodate multi-generational households often found in specific cultures. This aligns with an investment thesis that looks for the convergence of food, culture, and technology.
• connection to technical roots and engineering background. Retains an interest in aerospace and heavy industry, occasionally referencing past work experience at major aerospace companies like Boeing and celebrating technical milestones in space transportation.
