We are thrilled to announce we are leading HappyRobot’s Series A. Logistics, the backbone of global commerce, remains surprisingly manual and inefficient, with brokers and carriers relying on outdated software, phone calls, texts, and emails to run their operations. This patchwork approach is costly for low-margin businesses, with the logistics industry spending billions annually on outsourced labor to manage transactions and schedules. HappyRobot is transforming this landscape with AI-powered phone calls tailored for freight. Their platform handles inbound and outbound calls for tasks like load updates, check calls, and carrier sales negotiations. HappyRobot’s AI agents are directly connected to existing data systems, can recall prior conversations, trigger automated workflows, and transfer calls to humans when needed. The result? Calls completed in one-third the time, employees freed up for higher-value work, and no more waiting on hold for customers. Founded by longtime collaborators Pablo Palafox, Javi Palafox, and Luis Paarup, the team brings deep expertise in logistics, AI, and automation. Together, they’re redefining how freight communication works. We are excited to partner with them, bringing these innovations to the logistics industry.
