About the Founders

In Nick Darman’s family, trucking roots run deep. His father was a truck driver as were all of his uncles. So when Nick started an asset-based brokerage in 2014 and noticed the lack of software options for businesses like his and his family’s, he decided to do something about it.  

He assembled an engineering team and built his own TMS that helped scale his brokerage to over 90 million ARR in just a few years.

Meanwhile Leo Gorodinski, as VP of Engineering at Jet.com, was leading development for an e-commerce site that would rival Amazon. Seeing Jet.com’s potential, Walmart bought the software for 3.3 billion and used Leo’s code architecture to power the retail giant’s online store.

That’s when Nick and Leo met in 2020 and joined forces to architect the best TMS the trucking industry has ever seen.
