About Vooma

Enterprise software is in the midst of a revolution. The world is shifting from "systems of record" to "systems of automation" - LLM powered agents and orchestrators that perform complex business tasks on behalf of and in concert with humans, with increasing levels of autonomy.

Vooma's mission is to build the leading AI orchestration platform for America's $800+ BN trucking industry. Everything we touch in the physical world is moved on a truck - it's the backbone of the US economy. Yet logistics today is still extremely manual, which makes it one of the hungriest industries for the shift toward AI Agents.

Vooma is backed by top-tier investors including Index Ventures, Craft Ventures Y-Combinator, and CEOs, founders and executives from Nolan, Arrive, MoLo, NFI, Convoy, Uber Freight, Motive, Loop, OTR Capital, Project44, Trucker Tools and more. We have enterprise contracts with many of the largest freight businesses in the US.
