# Nexcade

> Nexcade builds AI agents for freight forwarders. Its agents draft quotes, parse tenders, keep rate cards current, and write bookings back to the TMS across air, ocean and road. Work that matters holds at a review gate until the forwarder's team releases it.

Nexcade was founded in London in 2025 by Dan Bailey, previously COO of supply chain platform Sedna, and Tasho Kjosev, previously Technical Lead at Palantir. Nexcade has raised $8.5 million in total, including a $6 million Seed round led by Project A Ventures. Customers include XPO, Argents Express Group, Zencargo, Cardinal Global Logistics, CargoTrans and FAR Logistics.
