The team that built it before is building it again.
Twenty years ago, we designed a system that would have changed everything. It was killed. The company sold for a fraction of what it could have been worth.
Now we're back. And this time, we're finishing what we started.
The Setup
Some of you remember.
You remember when Access America was the name everyone watched. You remember the team that built it. You remember when it sold—and you remember wondering what could have been.
Here's what you didn't know: there was a system. A vision for how freight brokerage technology should actually work. It was designed. It was ready.
It was never built.
That was the origin sin.
The people who killed it didn't understand what they were looking at. The company that could have been worth ten figures sold for a fraction of that. We've been carrying that for two decades.
The Return
The band is back together.
The architects of that original vision—the ones who knew what the system should have been—are building again.
Not as consultants. Not as advisors. As operators who never stopped thinking about what we should have built.
The economics have finally shifted. What would have taken years and tens of millions can now be built in months. The infrastructure is commoditized. The AI tools are here. The only thing that was ever missing was the knowledge of exactly what to build.
We've had that for twenty years.
The Philosophy
Built from scar tissue.
This isn't software designed from market research or customer interviews. It's software designed from:
- Deals we didn't close because we couldn't respond fast enough
- Brokers who burned out because the tools created work instead of eliminating it
- Customers who left because knowledge walked out the door with employees
- Two companies and two decades of knowing what works and what doesn't
Every feature encodes a decision made by people who've done the job. The defaults are right because we've calibrated them through pain—not focus groups.
Zero entry. Human confirm.
The system captures. Humans decide. Brokers spend their time on relationships and problem-solving, not data entry and administrative theater.
The Stakes
The industry is frozen. We're not.
Everyone sees AI coming. Everyone knows it will transform operations. And everyone is doing the same thing: buying the same SaaS tools, attending the same conferences, waiting for someone else to figure it out.
Here's what they should be worried about: someone already figured it out.
The company that builds proprietary AI operations doesn't just improve margins. It creates a moat. It becomes the template everyone else studies—or the acquirer of everyone who didn't move fast enough.
We've seen this movie before. We know how it ends.
This time, we're not watching from the sidelines.
The big three are back.
If you've been in this industry long enough, you know what that means.
Steve and Allan — Taking the plunge. Again.
What you get
- • First access to something designed differently
- • Direct line to the people building it
- • Your feedback shapes what ships
What we need
- • Operators who've felt the pain of inadequate tools
- • Honest feedback, including the uncomfortable kind
- • Patience with rough edges while we get this right
What this isn't
- • A polished demo designed to impress
- • A vendor pitch with ROI projections
- • Another tool that promises AI magic
Alpha spots are limited. We're prioritizing people who understand what we're building and why.
No pitch deck. No demo theater. Just the team that should have built this twenty years ago—finally building it.
