Congrats on the launch! Wondering how much overlap you have with Flexport, which I've followed with great admiration through the years. Definitely seems like a sector in major need of continued modernization.
- hrishi 6y agoThanks! Interesting that you ask that - we have very little (if any) overlap with Flexport. They focus on the cargo and the freight, and we focus on operations. We've definitely helped operate some of their vessels in the past! There is a future where the two parts come together, as their fates are always linked, but it's outside the scope of complexity for us today, and for Flexport as well I imagine.
- corry 6y agoMakes sense! Chalk it up to ignorance on the sector in general, when I think "ships and startups" I think Flexport. I bet a lot of VCs will too (which is great - they are absolutely stellar). Best of luck!
- Nick_GW 6y agoThanks for the comment! I normally tell people that Flexport connects the global economy to shipping, so you can get your stuff from A to B. Greywing connects shipping to the world economy, so whether the ship is at A, B or Z they can get what OPEX they need efficiently.
