Raft

We are Raft, an AI-driven start-up that automates operations for freight forwarding, a critical part of the global supply chain. We're transforming this $200B industry's heavily manual processes from the ground up. Our customers include several of the world's top 10 freight forwarders, and many more. We recently raised $15m from Bessemer Venture Partners (LinkedIn, Twilio, Shopify), Episode 1 (Zoopla, Betfair, Shazam) and Dynamo (Sennder, Stord). We're named as one of the UK's most exciting AI start-ups by Tech Nation, recognized by the Mayor's International Business Programme and Innovate UK, and we've been featured in Techcrunch and Bloomberg as well as leading industry publications JOC, Freightwaves and Loadstar. We have ambitious expansion plans and are looking for future Rafters who are excited by rapid company growth, want to navigate challenging problems, and are eager to embrace responsibility.

At its core, the freight forwarding industry is about people. Every day, thousands of us communicate across borders and time zones, working together to facilitate the flow of goods around the globe. We saw an opportunity to transform the industry’s productivity and performance by using technology to make that communication dramatically easier, faster, and more accurate. The result: more efficient workers, stronger relationships, and happier customers.

What drives us forward
