CEO Letter Today, I’m excited to announce Nuvocargo has acquired fellow YC startup Mentum and that their awesome founder & CEO Gustavo Trigos is joining our R&D team to help accelerate our roadmap for AI agents executing North America freight & logistics. Mentum, based in San Francisco, has been building AI agents for legacy workflows in the supply chain. We partnered with Gustavo and Mentum for a few reasons: Accelerating our R&D roadmap Mentum has been building AI agents for legacy supply chain workflows, which is complementary to Nuvocargo’s roadmap for NuvoOS, our AI-native TMS for North America freight. Approach to AI agents Mentum’s R&D philosophy is aligned with Nuvocargo’s: build AI agents for tedious, repetitive work without requiring users to change and adopt new platforms (email, text, etc.) and allow humans to focus on deepening customer relationships. Production experience The Mentum team has worked closely with supply chain teams across mid-market manufacturers in the U.S., implementing AI agents that automate quoting, proposal, and purchase order workflows with suppliers. They’ve engaged with 300+ VPs and Directors of Supply Chain and visited dozens of factories to deeply understand their operational pain points. Team The team has a multicultural background across San Francisco and Latin America which is aligned with the culture at Nuvocargo. YC Founder DNA We’re excited to partner with Gustavo, based in SF, who brings an AI-native founder DNA and has been on the cutting edge of what’s possible with LLMs applied towards the supply chain & logistics industry. This is our second acquisition in 2025 and our third acquisition since inception. Earlier this year, we announced our acquisition of Merge which expanded Nuvocargo from being a purely US<>Mexico focused company to being a full North America platform. Our momentum continues to accelerate across the board. We’re excited to welcome Gustavo and Mentum to the team to keep bending the curve.
