FreightTech is super hot. No one can deny that. According to CB Insights, investments in trucking tech are expected to be above $1B in 2017 alone. “Deal activity has remained above 11 or more deals for six consecutive quarters,” the firm says. “Quarterly funding dollars have also topped $130M every quarter since Q2’16, after eclipsing that mark just once in the quarters prior.”

As the leading publication in FreighTech, we wanted to increase our coverage and understanding of the startup universe. We are publishing a FreightTech startup directory that is free to join and is intended to allow anyone that is interested in trucking, logistics, or FreightTech to visit and get a feel for the various companies in the space. Ideally, startups, investors, commercial partners, talent, and other resources would use the directory to establish better connections in the space. 

FreightWaves will also use this directory to identify interesting companies doing cool stuff so we can feature them in future articles. If you are a startup doing something cool, be sure to add your name to our directory. If you know someone that is, send them this link.
