About
Manifold Freight is a Seattle-based spot freight marketplace for asset-based carriers — backed by Y Combinator (W24) with $2.4 million raised including a $1.9 million seed round in May 2024 from New Stack Ventures and Y Combinator — aggregating spot market load opportunities across freight broker networks and digital freight platforms to help trucking carriers find and win spot loads that increase their margins by 30% through better load matching, rate insights, and direct shipper connections.
