About Freight Hero:
The US freight brokerage industry has experienced rapid growth over the past decade, expanding from 6% to over 20% market share and reaching a current value of $21 billion. However, this growth has been accompanied by a decline in profit margins from 20% to 5%. Operational back-office tasks now consume up to 90% of freight brokers' time, highlighting a key area for improvement and innovation. Freight Hero, in partnership with AI Fund and Dynamo Ventures, is transforming the freight brokerage and supply chain sectors.
