This freight-tech founder realized tools that disrupt workflows often failed. Now, his AI-logistics service moves millions in freight. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 Meet Abdul Basharat - founder of Cartage. 1) Growing up in Canada, Abdul trained as a military pilot while earning a business degree. After graduation, he interned at McKinsey and Eon, but consulting felt too far removed from the hands-on impact he craved. ✈️ 2) So Abdul joined Rose Rocket, a YC-backed logistics software startup. Starting in sales and moving into product management, he tackled one of logistics' biggest challenges: coordinating shipments in an industry still reliant on email and phone calls. 🚛 3) During his time in freight tech, Abdul noticed a recurring problem: tools that forced users to shift their workflows often failed. He realized that for solutions to succeed, they needed to adapt to how people already worked. This insight became the foundation for Cartage. 🔓 4) Abdul co-founded Cartage with his colleague Josh and logistics veteran Harman in Dec 2023. 🤝 5) They started small - automating back-office tasks for freight brokers. Their first project, a tool to process carrier payables, landed a $50,000 contract, validating their approach. 💪 6) With this momentum, the team turned to larger inefficiencies. Abdul reimagined a logistics service from the ground-up powered by AI - designed to fit seamlessly into existing workflows. 🤖 7) This approach enabled Cartage to tackle complex processes without disrupting how the industry operated. 🕊️ 8) For carriers and shippers, it feels like a traditional service. But behind the scenes, their AI-driven efficiencies help them cut costs by 10-25% compared to traditional brokers - and most of the savings go straight to customers. 💵 9) Today, Cartage moves millions of dollars in freight for over 30 shippers across the US and Canada. From booking loads to paying carriers, the platform integrates seamlessly into existing workflows, making freight coordination faster, cheaper, and easier. 🛠️ 10) With $3.3M in seed funding from Y Combinator, Garage Capital, Wayfinder Ventures, Northside Ventures, Pioneer Fund, and Ritual Capital, Cartage is now focused on scaling its shipper network, building deeper carrier relationships, and improving its AI. 🚀 💭 This conversation got me thinking… Two types of “AI for logistics” startups are emerging: → AI tools that help traditional brokers speed up a process → New logistics services built from the ground-up, powered by AI How will this market will play out? Thank you for sharing your story with me, Abdul! 🙏 — PS: Follow me for fresh ideas from the people shaping supply chains.
