Matt Aiello Markets the Work Most Software Forgot
At ServiceCore, Matt Aiello has made a marketing career out of looking closely at work that most of the software world barely notices - the routes, invoices, tanks, toilets and trucks that keep local service businesses moving.
Moin Islam Is Giving Main Street Its Own Delivery Control Room
A logistics PhD turned nonprofit frustration into software for the businesses that cannot afford a control tower - then spent five years making delivery feel less like guesswork.
Andrew Travis Took the Long Route to the Corner Office
Before Andrew Travis became Onfleet’s CEO, he spent a decade learning the business from customer visits, dispatch problems and the unglamorous work of operational scale. His promotion is a case study in how an operator earns the keys to a founder-led company.
Adam Bryant Is Turning the Last Mile Into a Systems Problem
A jet-engine designer became a factory operator, then an investor, then the CEO of a parcel network. At Jitsu, Adam Bryant is applying first-principles discipline to the unruly trip between warehouse and doorstep.
Grzegorz Marecki
Grzegorz Marecki is the co-founder and CEO of Continuum Industries, an Edinburgh-based company whose AI platform Optioneer helps engineers design linear infrastructure - power lines, pipelines, cables and rail - in a fraction of the usual time. A civil engineer by training who grew frustrated with slow traditional practice, he channelled that impatience into a student hyperloop project and then into a software business that iterates through millions of routing options to find better, cheaper, more sustainable designs. The company has assessed tens of thousands of kilometres of infrastructure and raised roughly $15.5 million, including a $10 million Series A led by Singular in 2023.
Chazz Sims
Chazz Sims is the CEO and co-founder of Wise Systems, a Boston-area company that uses machine learning to plan and continuously re-plan last-mile delivery routes in real time. Born in Irmo, South Carolina, he studied computer science at MIT and turned a Media Lab class project into a logistics platform now used by fleets like Anheuser-Busch and Lyft. He was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in Enterprise Technology in 2021 for the company's role keeping supply chains moving during the pandemic.
Marc Khoury
Marc Khoury is the co-founder and CEO of aifleet, an Austin-based tech-native trucking company that uses proprietary AI to schedule routes, automate load booking, and keep its employee drivers busier and better paid. A civil engineer turned management consultant, he ran strategy at US Xpress before launching aifleet in 2020 to attack what he calls trucking's real problem: not a driver shortage, but a retention problem rooted in an inefficient, fragmented $400 billion market. The company has raised roughly $55 million and grown its fleet from dozens of drivers to hundreds.
