QED Investors (Lead Investor) (Lauren Morton)

Proceeds Purpose
The new funds are meant to allow Nuvocargo to better address its enterprise-level demands. It is now expanding its services to all U.S.-Mexico border crossing locations (it previously only served Laredo, Texas, the largest shipping hotspot on the border) and recently added a customs brokerage offering. Morton said the company had a big immediate opportunity to hire more U.S.-based salespeople to focus on American companies -- currently, the company has largely targeted Mexican exporters and two-thirds of its 150 employees are based in Mexico City. And Chhugani is beginning to think about where Nuvocargo could be years from now: in Canada, in Latin America or expanding other modes of transportation, like trains. It's a luxurious position to be in given fintech's contraction and a downturn in the freight industry.
