Чем занимается chrt

chrt is a logistics platform for time-critical shipping. We enable businesses to deliver their most critical items same-day. Time-Critical Logistics is a $30B market growing at a 20% CAGR driven by growth in American healthcare and manufacturing. Businesses that place time-critical orders are enterprises who have urgent items they need to deliver ASAP. These orders are critical in nature and often require white glove service -- think therapeutic treatments for healthcare providers or specialized equipment for manufacturers. chrt builds the software for forwarders and professional couriers who pick up and deliver these orders. Couriers use chrt to coordinate and track their shipments, including a driver app and fleet management tools. Forwarders use chrt to dispatch couriers, book flights, and track time-critical orders from start to finish. Shippers use chrt to place these orders with their providers and to monitor everything. In addition, we also sell physical tracking devices that can be used to track valuable cargo or assets. This gives us full control of the shipment and allows us to provide shippers with end-to-end tracking. It also allows us to intervene early if we notice something is going wrong. We’re software engineers that became friends years ago at McKinsey. Kyle is an expert in Time-Critical Logistics, having led strategy at a leader in the space. Aaron is an expert at designing and implementing AI systems to handle complex coordination. We were shipping code together on nights and weekends for years before chrt; now we’re also shipping freight.

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

We build software for forwarders and professional couriers handling urgent, same-day orders. Our platform includes a driver app and fleet management for couriers, dispatch and booking tools for forwarders, and ordering and tracking capabilities for shippers. We also offer physical tracking devices to monitor valuable shipments end to end and intervene early if issues arise.

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

We live and work in Los Angeles, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Los Angeles is the center of a major logistics market, and both founders live here. It's a good base for reaching the healthcare and manufacturing customers we serve across the US.

Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка chrt в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных chrt (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде chrt представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
