Footwork的动态

I’m excited to officially launch Portex out of stealth and share that we’ve closed a $6.25 million seed fundraising round. We’re incredibly lucky to work with amazing investors: Footwork led the round, which was joined by Cowboy Ventures, Susa Ventures, Base10 Partners, strategic investors, and angels. We built Portex to make it possible for small- to mid-sized shippers to experience the same time and cost savings enjoyed by the enterprise sector. We did this by staying completely focused on their specific needs. The result: ? Portex is an intelligent freight procurement & management platform that simplifies logistics with automated pricing, real-time benchmarking, and easy communication—all in one place. ? Works seamlessly with shippers’ existing carrier networks. ? Takes less than 10 minutes to set up. The impact on our customers has been energizing. For the typical shipper, Portex slashes time spent on freight tasks up to 80% and cuts annual freight spend by up to 30%. The team has worked incredibly hard, shaping the product hand-in-hand with early customers, such as Franklin Foods, Community Coffee, Armorock Polymer Concrete, Chancey Metals, LLC, as well as with many brokers from companies like Ryan Transportation and Axle Logistics just to name a few. Special shoutout to our earliest investors Plexo Capital, Chris Bennett, Amber Illig/The Council, Anabel Lippincott Paksoy, Courtney Buie Lipkin, and Adeyemi Ajao for believing in us from the start. We wouldn’t be here without the deep support of our advisors, investors, and customers. Many of you are always available, day or night, ready to jump in and help however you can – thank you!
