Desteia

About

Desteia is an AI-native supply chain operating system that helps organizations achieve Amazon-tier service levels in global trade operations. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in New York, Desteia transforms fragmented, unstructured logistics data into clean, validated information that enables real-time visibility and automated workflows. The company specializes in cross-border trade operations, particularly between the United States and Mexico, handling over $850 billion in annual trade. Desteia's platform pulls structure from unstructured documents and operational updates - from emails and messages to shipping manifests - then validates the details so teams can trust what they see and act faster. Their technology leverages graph theory to connect shipment data across ocean, ground, and air transportation modes, providing live ETAs, disruption alerts, and customs clearance automation. Desteia's founding team brings deep expertise from Tesla, Walmart, L'Oréal, and Blend. The company has raised $11.5 million in total funding, including an $8 million seed round led by Autotech Ventures, Nazca, and Village Global. SOC 2 Type 2 certified, Desteia serves multinational companies in retail, automotive, and CPG sectors, helping them reduce manual work, prevent errors, and keep cross-border operations predictable.
