Start. Co is thrilled to add Logistadvise as the 19th startup to the Summer of Acceleration. Founded by Eric Spearin and Radek Duda, Logistadvise is a database that connects freight transportation providers with thousands of transportation carriers in North America. Logistadvise revolutionizes the transportation industry with its algorithm based system and large volume of available data on every for-hire company in the industry.
The Logistadvise team sought out Start Co. and Memphis because of the strength of the network of mentors, logistics industry experts, fellow entrepreneurs, and potential investors. Logistadvise will join the Sparkgap Accelerator and work toward pitching investors at Demo Day. Start Co. will support Logistadvise as they work alongside the other 18 startups in the Summer of Acceleration.
Hailing from Canada, Spearin and Duda started work on Logistadvise in September 2013; today, Spearin and Duda are finalizing the company’s business model, having moved to Memphis to work with Start Co.. They designed and launched their platform in February of 2014 in private beta and plan to officially launch the platform in early August of 2014. Today, the users on Logistadvise’s beta test website search through over 65 million shipping options to find the best fit for their needs.
