Flexport for Africa - Digital freight forwarder

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a digital freight forwarding and customs brokerage platform that manages cargo shipments by air and sea into Africa. Our product handles documentation, customs clearance, delivery to warehouse, and trade financing, streamlining a process that's traditionally complex and manual for African traders and importers.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Lagos, Nigeria. After YC, we would base the company in Lagos as well since that is where the shipping challenges are and where our customers and partners operate.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our location choice is because the problems we solve are tied to African supply chains and customs, which require hands-on local knowledge and presence. Lagos is the trade hub of West Africa and the best place to build and iterate on our digital freight forwarding product.
