Desteia is a NYC-based technology startup that provides tools to help leaders and operators make optimal supply-chain decisions. Its platform uses AI to extract and organize information from unstructured data such as emails, messages and logistics documents. Desteia connects this information using graph theory—modeling nodes as locations and edges as routes—to create a dashboard for managing shipments across ocean, ground and air. The company has specific expertise in U.S.–Mexico cross-border operations and plans to use new funding to focus on that trade corridor. Desteia raised $8M in Seed funding (bringing total funding to $11.5M) to support that expansion. It has partnerships and contracts with retailers, auto manufacturers and CPGs in North America, and was founded by Françoise Lavertu, Diego Solorzano and Austin Poore.
