Nexcade

Active

Overview

Nexcade is a London-based applied-AI company that develops AI agents for freight forwarders. Its software is designed to process unstructured operational work from emails, attachments, conversations, spreadsheets, transport-management systems, and rate sources, then convert it into structured forwarding workflows. The company is notable for targeting specific freight-forwarding jobs such as quoting, rate procurement, customer communication, bookings, and desk analytics rather than offering a general-purpose productivity assistant.

History

Nexcade AI Ltd was founded in London in 2025 by Dan Bailey and Tasho Kjosev. Bailey previously served as COO of supply-chain platform Sedna, while Kjosev was a technical lead at Palantir. In July 2026, the company announced a $6 million seed round led by Project A Ventures, with participation from Connect Ventures, MMC Ventures, and Entropy Industrial Capital. The company has focused its development on AI agents for freight-forwarding workflows.

Reputation

Nexcade is positioned as an early-stage logistics-technology company focused on practical automation for freight-forwarding teams. Its stated approach keeps human users in control and allows agents to gain autonomy incrementally. Publicly available information establishes its founders, funding, and product focus, but provides limited independent customer feedback or evidence for assessing implementation outcomes. Pricing, employee count, and manufacturing details are not publicly disclosed.
