Cartage

Cartage (YC S24) has raised $3.3 million in seed funding to support shippers and carriers with automation. Cartage is the first AI-native logistics service-as-software, offering end-to-end freight coordination for shippers across North America. By blending AI automation with personal, human service, Cartage is a fast, transparent, and reliable partner to clients. Founded by?Abdul Basharat,?Josh Lampen, and?Harman Sahota, what sets Cartage apart is that they don’t require shippers or carrier to change how they work. Instead, they use AI to automate coordination that’s usually done over email or phone, freeing up time for both Cartage and their customers to focus on building stronger partnerships. This strategy is already resonating with customers, as Cartage reports doubling in size each month while serving a wide range of clients, from small shippers to large enterprises. Congrats to the team on the round! https://lnkd.in/gUGsAZgw
