Founding AI Engineer

$12 trillion in goods move by freight every year, coordinated by people copy-pasting between email and spreadsheets. We’re building the AI that changes that.

Sidecar builds AI to run the global supply chain.

Ever wonder how your phone got to you from a factory in Shenzhen? Or how the jacket you ordered from Italy made it to your door in 5 days?

Their teams manually extract info from documents, and respond to hundreds of emails and phone calls daily to execute business specific workflows.
