View company profile

What began in 2021 as a vision to simplify the complexities of global trade has evolved into traide AI, a Berlin-based startup poised to revolutionize the customs industry. Founded by the trio of Leonie Althaus, Philipp Friebertshäuser, and Hendrik Niemann, the company was born from the recognition that businesses of all sizes were grappling with the ever-changing and intricate landscape of international trade regulations. The founders, leveraging their expertise in technology and a deep understanding of the pain points in customs processes, embarked on a mission to harness the power of artificial intelligence to create a more efficient and secure future for global commerce. Their journey started with the development of a sophisticated SaaS platform designed to automate the tedious and error-prone task of customs classification and data management. This wasn't just about building another software; it was about creating a 'translator' for the complex language of customs, making it accessible and manageable for everyone, from small e-commerce businesses to large multinational corporations.

The early days were marked by a relentless focus on product development and a commitment to building an AI that was not just intelligent, but also practical and user-friendly. The team's dedication paid off, and in August 2023, traide AI secured a significant seven-figure funding round led by High-Tech Gründerfonds (HTGF), with participation from other notable investors. This injection of capital served as a powerful validation of their vision and provided the fuel to accelerate their growth. The funding has been instrumental in further developing their AI-based SaaS solution, expanding their market presence, and growing their team of passionate experts. Today, traide AI stands as a testament to the transformative power of technology, trusted by over 100 customers, including industry giants like Siemens Healthineers and BMW. Their journey is a compelling narrative of innovation, perseverance, and a deep-seated desire to empower businesses to navigate the complexities of global trade with confidence and ease, proving that even the most daunting bureaucratic challenges can be overcome with the right blend of human ingenuity and artificial intelligence.
