What Ekho Labs does
Ekho predicts the wars, strikes and tariffs that break global shipping, and tells freight teams which shipments are exposed and what to do about them. Predicting escalation is what our team did for eight years before this - now we bring the same engine to logistics.

Company
Ekho Labs
Predicts disruption in global freight.
We're building Ekho, a SaaS platform that predicts escalations like wars, strikes, and tariffs before they hit global freight. Ekho analyzes risk events worldwide, identifies the shipments exposed, and tells freight teams what to do. We bring the escalation prediction tech we used for eight years elsewhere, now applied to logistics and supply chain teams. Ekho makes the hidden freight risks visible and actionable in real time.
We are based in New York City, NY, USA and will remain there after YC.
New York is the best place for logistics tech - near global freight operators and major customers. We already live and work here, so it gives us the access and connections we need.
