Founded in 2024 by Sumeet Trehan, Starboard was created on the belief that independent forwarders can outperform global incumbents when equipped with modern AI systems and shared network-scale advantages — directly aligned with Eclipse’s thesis of upgrading the physical economy through applied AI.
Since launch, Starboard has deployed agentic quoting, automated rate-ingestion, and procurement networks that materially expand margins and improve execution speed for forwarders.
“Global trade runs on SMB forwarders. Starboard gives power back with AI-driven operational, financial, and procurement infra.”
