STARTING POINT

Speedcargo was poised to transform the airfreight industry with its full-suite AI automation solution. After 5+ years of development, they had impressive tech and solid traction, including ACV and paid pilot programs with major airlines like Etihad, SATs and global airport deployments.

CATALYST FOR CHANGE

Despite their groundbreaking technology, Speedcargo hit a wall with investors. They were getting ghosted after calls, with feedback labeling their market as "niche" and "boring". Investors failed to grasp the potential of both the market and the solution.

THE PROBLEM

We identified three critical areas for improvement:

  1. Market context and opportunity were unclear

  2. Core value proposition was lost in technical details

  3. Narrative lacked the spark to ignite investor imagination



It wasn't their tech or traction that was the issue behind fundraising. It was the value potential.
