The Problem

Freight rate volatility is a $100B+ problem
with no good solution.

Container rates swung 300% during the pandemic. Trucking spot rates are unpredictable quarter-to-quarter. Yet mid-market shippers have zero accessible hedging tools.

$500K+

Minimum to trade Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs) through OTC brokers. Locked out for 95% of shippers.

5-15%

Spreads charged by OTC freight brokers. Massive cost that erodes any hedging benefit.

0

Prediction market platforms purpose-built for freight. Kalshi and Polymarket serve retail speculators, not freight professionals.

⚡ Shippers absorbed $230B+ in unexpected freight cost overruns from 2020-2023 — most had no hedging strategy at all.
