What happens to freight brokerage when AI agents can book shipments, negotiate rates, handle compliance, and communicate with other AI agents?
In this episode of Ventures from the Valley, Victor Orlovski sits down with Jeff D’Angelo, CEO of Fura, to explore how AI is transforming freight and logistics — and how Fura has built an AI-native model in one of the largest and most fragmented industries in the U.S.
Jeff shares how Fura combines freight brokerage, technology, and a roll-up strategy to acquire traditional businesses and make them more efficient through AI and automation. He explains how the company grew its run rate from roughly $10 million to more than $100 million in two years while combining organic growth with acquisitions.
They also discuss Donna, Fura’s AI agent that now books more than 40% of shipments, and why Jeff believes logistics is moving toward a world of AI-to-AI booking, insurance, compliance, and autonomous transportation.
The conversation also explores:
• AI and automation in freight brokerage
• Fura’s freight roll-up strategy and 10x growth
• AI agents and the future of logistics
• How automation changes the cost per transaction
• Why AI adoption requires changing the business itself
