The Infrastructure Layer
Brokers currently extract $102B in margin without adding intelligence. Hemut is building the AI-native TMS and direct freight network to connect shippers specifically to verified capacity.
AI-Native TMS
Automates quoting, dispatch, and billing for fleets. Reduces onboarding time by 6x with our parallel "Command + Core" integration.
$0 Compliance Hardware
The Hemut Embedded Logging Device (HELD) replaces $500 ELD hardware, aggregating drivers at scale with negligible acquisition costs.
The Direct Network
Shippers post freight. Verified drivers accept directly. Hemut replaces the 15-30% broker fee with a simple 1% network toll.
Proven Traction
$240K live ARR with mid-market fleets. $2.8M in active sales pipeline. Compounding revenue via Software ($100/truck) and Fuel Cards.
Why This Round
Hemut has derisked the initial GTM motion. We are raising additional capital to accelerate our FDE deployment model and compound our software/fuel wedge into a true network effect.

Execution Strategy
- GTM A: Forward Deployed EngineeringDeploying engineers inside mid-market fleets to build our Enterprise TMS alongside their dispatchers, drastically shortening sales cycles.
- GTM B: Owner-Operator WedgeAggregating the long-tail of supply by subsidizing their $500 compliance hardware costs and offering a profitable Fuel Card.
- Direct Network EconomicsOnce peak network density is reached via our SaaS and financial tools, we unlock the scalable 1% automated direct freight network fee.
