This project is in collaboration with AI Fund and Dynamo Ventures.
Who is AI Fund:
AI is the new electricity: Just as electricity transformed numerous industries starting 100 years ago, AI is now poised to do the same. AI Fund is an early stage venture studio founded by Dr. Andrew Ng in 2017. Our portfolio companies utilize AI technology and applications to improve processes and efficiency. The AI Fund team combines their experiences as AI pioneers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, and operators. We are backed by more than $250 million-dollar fund from top-tier institutional investors.
Together, let’s build great companies that will move humanity forward.
Who is Dynamo:
Dynamo Ventures is a pre-seed and seed stage fund that invests in supply chain and mobility startups, worldwide. Founded in 2016, Dynamo leverages its deep domain expertise to support founders with hands-on and practical experience in product and strategy, sales, and talent development. With a portfolio of over 40 companies, Dynamo has backed some of the most innovative and impactful startups in the industry, including Stord, Sennder, Gatik, and Raft AI. With a proven track record of success, Dynamo continues to be a catalyst for industrial change.
Why Partner With Us:
We’ve been there. We’ve founded and scaled successful companies ourselves in the supply chain space and AI space, and we know that creating meaningful startups is really hard. Many entrepreneurs toil with ideas for years. Many spend time building something without the foresight of limiting factors that could have been easily dismissed upfront. Accomplished execs often teeter between a desire to start a company and creating something great versus taking a job that is less fulfilling. If only someone could help with taking the risk out of turning an idea into reality and accelerate the company building process, more people would be inspired to start a company.
Coming up with great ideas, sussing them out, assembling great teams, and helping raise capital is what we do. We shorten a process that can take years down to months. We make sure you are going after the right market, are fully validated, and are surrounded by great teammates.
By partnering with us, you get the benefit of co-founding with two of the best pre-seed investors within their respective domains: AI Fund in AI and Dynamo Ventures in Supply Chain. This includes: i. Hands-on company building support and playbook from AI Fund and Dynamo Ventures, ii. Deep technical expertise to de-risk AI product development, iii. Deep domain expertise and customer introductions within the supply chain space, iv. Investment capital and credibility from leaders within their domains.
In summary, the combination of AI Fund's deep AI and incubation expertise, along with Dynamo's industry knowledge and established relationships, provides you with a significant advantage at this early stage.
What We Seek:
We are looking for passionate entrepreneurs with first-hand knowledge of the problem they have encountered or entrepreneurs that might match to a problem or idea we already have. It’s not a mandate, but ideally, we want people with experience solving business problems and have a keen eye for anticipating business risks. We are looking for a sound business leader who has built a company from 0 to 1 or a product manager running a product or built a product line from scratch before. We desire entrepreneurs who can hire great people, get others excited about their vision, raise capital, and make it all happen.
About FreightGenius:
The freight brokerage industry has exploded in recent years, growing from a mere 6% to over 20% of US truck freight in just a decade, now valued at $21 billion. Freight brokers typically allocate up to 90% of their time to operational back-office tasks, leaving only 10% for revenue-generating activities (depending on the business model). By combining AI with human oversight, we can streamline these back-office processes, driving significant operational efficiencies. The industry's profit margins have recently contracted from 20% to 5%, underscoring the critical need for cost reduction. We believe that the perfect storm of industry challenges and AI maturity presents a venture scale opportunity to revolutionize the freight brokerage sector and the broader freight/supply chain industry.
