In 2023, Ironspring Ventures proudly led the seed round in GoodShip, backing the bold vision of co-founders CEO Ryan Soskin and CTO David Tsai. Their vision was to streamline transportation procurement through a comprehensive platform designed to empower shippers to make better decisions by equipping them with the data and tools needed to manage the transportation network, all in one place. Building off of the company’s early success, GoodShip raised its Series A led by Bessemer Venture Partners in spring 2024. GoodShip enhances any shipper transportation management system (TMS) with a powerful suite of features designed to optimize both spend and service outcomes. Its advanced recommendation engine surfaces key performance insights, allowing users to take corrective actions directly within the platform. With in-app messaging and tagging, conversations move out of email into a centralized, data-driven inbox. GoodShip’s purpose-built procurement workflow and AI-powered award optimizer drive bid execution efficiency and strengthen carrier contracts, improving the transportation procurement process from insight to action. This fall has been a busy season for GoodShip! In September, the company was named to the FreightWaves FreightTech 100 list and last week, GoodShip took another exciting step forward, announcing a premier TMS partnership with Princeton TMX.

Less than one month to go until the first ever Heavy Hitters Summit! This is sure to be one of the highlights of the action packed day!
Part 6: 30 days to go until Heavy Hitters Summit: The Digital Industrial Summit! The boys are back in town (the Big 🍎 that is) for All-In Supply Chain round 3. Today, we’re bringing this popular cast of besties to the live stage with Julian Counihan of Schematic Ventures, Santosh Sankar of Dynamo Ventures, Chris Stallman, CFA of Fontinalis Partners, and myself tackling the biggest news in the sector in 2024 and where we’re headed in 2025 by land, air, sea, warehouse, etc. The guys will dig in on the major supply chain headlines: Is 2025 finally going to be the freight rebound the industry is hoping for? When do our cobot overlords and Ai agents takeover our fulfillment and distribution facilities? What was all that noise about ports and why does it matter? How mature is the reality of re + nearshoring and what will it take to see the impact it can have? Are all the supply chain tourist investors cleared out and what does that mean for early stage and downstream capital in this sector? 👉 For more on the first Heavy Hitters Summit https://lnkd.in/gwS8z5tf Less than one month remains, stay tuned for the final Summit news dropping soon!

Great conversation alongside Lorena Segura (Ferrovial), Karyl Fowler (Transmute), and Erena Estellés Tatay on how industrial corporates embrace the innovation ecosystem.
