Co-Founder & CEO - AI Communication Agents for Freight & Logistics

Co-Founder & CEO Opportunity At HawkAI

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead HawkAI, an enterprise AI venture for US logistics brokerages, carriers, and warehouse operators. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.

HawkAI deploys always-on, multi-channel "AI workers" that autonomously manage high-volume freight communications across calls, texts, and emails, integrating directly with core freight systems including TMS, load boards, and broker/carrier databases. The platform handles track-and-trace calls, appointment scheduling, carrier rate negotiation, proof-of-delivery capture, and shipment status updates end-to-end autonomously resolving 90%+ of routine communications and escalating only exceptions to human staff. Rather than another point tool layered on top of existing systems, HawkAI is designed to operate as the always-on communication layer for logistics teams, enabling them to focus on exceptions and value-driving work.

We are now seeking the founder to lead the venture from here.

The US logistics BPO market for outsourced communications is approximately $26B, representing a major automation opportunity in a labour-intensive industry.

Approximately 150,000 US freight forwarders, 3PLs, and warehouses form the target market, with tiered subscription pricing yielding a $1.5B annual TAM.

Mid-sized US brokerages handle thousands of daily calls, with staff unable to answer or follow up on every transaction, contributing to OTIF (On Time/In Full) penalties and costly delays.

Early customers deploying AI communication assistants report approximately 33% lower operating costs and significantly faster call resolution.

AI supply chain software is growing at approximately 23% CAGR globally from 20252031, with North America seeing 3045% annual growth in AI-driven logistics spend.

FutureSight is a leading venture builder that co-creates world-class software companies with values-driven entrepreneurs from inception to exit. We are a team of founders, operators, and designers with experience successfully bringing software to market at scale.

You'll co-create with a proven studio team, led by John Carbrey (4x entrepreneur, $100M ARR), Krista LaRiviere (3x exited, E&Y Top Women Entrepreneur), Alan Smith (Strategyzer co-founder, $120M in products built), Prathna Ramesh (former MD of Maple Leaf Angels, $275M in follow-on capital), and Johnny Tong (0-to-1 builder, acquired by SAP and Stripe) bring a rare combination of operator exits, institutional investing, and AI product depth.

As Co-Founder & CEO, you will set the venture's direction and lead its execution.

• Strategy Refine the ICP, pricing model, and product positioning across freight brokerages, 3PLs, carriers, and warehouse operators
• Customer Development Lead pilots with mid-sized to enterprise freight brokerages, convert them to paid engagements, and build the go-to-market motion targeting Heads of Logistics, Supply Chain, and Operations
