What BeGo does
In Mexico and US trucking demand outpaces capacity, yet 40% of the time trucks roll empty. BeGo uses Machine Learning to reduce empty returns, deadheads, and carbon emissions. BeGo is co-founded by two brothers, Jasiel, with 10+ years of experience in the industry, and Ivan, ex-Tesla engineer with experience in product design and machine learning.

Company
BeGo
Connects cargo shippers with truck suppliers
We built a digital freight brokerage platform that uses machine learning to match cargo shipments with available trucks in Mexico and the US. Our product reduces empty truck runs, known as deadheading, which cuts costs and lowers carbon emissions for shippers and carriers.
We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.
San Francisco gives us access to talent and investors, even though our market is Mexico and the US trucking industry. We can handle logistics remotely while building product and growing the team here.
