About

Since late 2018 the startup has now raised approximately $48 million. “We founded Raft as an AI-first company because we saw an opportunity to empower freight forwarders and customs brokers with technology, and take pressure off their operational teams so that they could focus on their customers instead of their keyboards,” commented Raft CEO and co-founder James Coombes.

AI made execution free. Knowing first is the whole game now.
