AI logistics startup Augment raises $85 million in Series A
Augment, an AI-powered logistics startup founded by Harish Abbott (of Deliverr fame), just scored $85 million in Series A funding led by Redpoint, with 8VC and Autotech Ventures joining in.
This comes only five months after their $25 million seed round earlier in 2025.
Augie's AI assistant handles logistics tasks across multiple platforms
Their AI assistant, Augie, takes over time-consuming logistics tasks—think pricing bids, shipment tracking, load consolidation, and invoice collection—so shippers and carriers don't have to juggle endless emails or messages.
Augie works across email, voice calls, Slack, SMS, and Telegram.
Plans to expand into international shipping markets
Since its seed round this year, Augment has more than doubled its customer base. Clients like Armstrong Transport Group have seen invoice delays drop by 40%.
With this new funding, the team plans to hire 50 engineers to make Augie even smarter, and while they currently serve the US trucking industry, their long-term vision is to expand into international shipping markets.
