Yes. Clear goals is the big one. There is a lot to gain in our industry, in terms of technology. We’ve seen a lot of disruption plays coming from VC backed tech companies but I hope coming at it from the ‘other’ side, the industry side, can create great value too.

Love your username - I had a friend who used to live in one of those :)

Sorry I missed this thread, I think it was meant for me.

I currently work for a small logistics company as a senior engineer. I am pretty happy and not looking for work (like many of the comments here), but I am happy to converse or schedule a call sometime if you're interested to discuss. 0x03e14@protonmail.ch.

Other commenters had I think the correct answer - you just need ONE REALLY GOOD IT co-founder or vice president to help coordinate that, who can both leverage outsourced solutions but also build things on their own, and most importantly who truly understands and cares about the logistics and cost savings.

I see a lot of dysfunctional and large tech teams building out over-complicated solutions with zero industry awareness, instead of lean solutions.

Did you see this article [1] here from a couple months ago about Temu's semi-managed delivery model? I was pleasantly surprised to see logistics on YC. We don't talk about it enough but it's the backbone of global economy.

Best of luck! Let us know what you decide to do and shoot me an email if you want to connect.
