Hatchway Trade Group, Inc. is raising $1M Seed to bring HatchOS to the freight brokerage industry. We built it for ourselves first. It worked.
Dispatchers spend half their day on the phone chasing carriers. Time that should go to building relationships and growing the business goes to data entry and phone tag.
Carrier performance, lane profitability, and settlement accuracy live in disconnected spreadsheets. By the time you discover a lane is unprofitable, you've already run 40 loads on it.
Enterprise tools cost $50K–$200K per year and still require heavy human operations. They're built for Fortune 500 — not for the 74,000 SMB brokerages grinding out margins below 15%.
No existing platform handles the operational demands of a modern brokerage. The tools brokers rely on haven't changed fundamentally in a decade — while freight markets have transformed.
AI employees handle dispatch, carrier outreach, rate negotiation, and settlement. Real-time lane analytics and carrier scorecards. Multi-tenant, white-label ready, licensable post-Beta.
Dispatcher, Carrier Analyst, Sales Rep, Compliance Officer, CFO, Marketing Manager, and Customer Success — running autonomously, not just chatbots on top of a TMS.
Carrier scorecards, lane profitability, and settlement accuracy in one dashboard. Know before you book whether a lane makes money — not after you've already run 40 loads.
Custom domain, branded UI, financial isolation at the DB level. Deploy under your own brand. Post-Beta: licensable and resellable to your customers.
Complete data migration from legacy TMS. We proved it with Hatch Trade Group — documented go-live with zero downtime.
SaaS platform designed to scale revenue without scaling operations. AI handles the work that used to require additional human operators.
Nightly automated sync of loads, carriers, and customers. Real-time platform data without manual entry — operational toil that eats broker margins gone.
| Revenue Stream | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Per-Seat SaaS (Broker Agents) | $199–$299 / seat / month | Core TMS + AI employees included |
| White-Label License | $999–$4,999 / month | Custom domain, full brand, dedicated tenant |
| Premium Modules | TBD | Carrier Scorecard, QuickBooks sync, advanced analytics |

Post-Beta: Multi-tenant SaaS, licensable and resellable. Designed to scale revenue without proportional headcount growth. White-label model lets brokerages operate under their own brand — their customers never see HatchOS.
Applicable to new broker agents joining Hatchway Trade Group. Agents who achieve $150,000+ in gross margin within a calendar year are eligible to earn up to 1% stock options.
Designed to align operator performance with platform equity — the better you run, the more you own.
Beta program live. Application pipeline with qualification auto-badges based on brokerage size and TMS usage signal. D0/D2/D5 nurture sequence active. Targeting brokers actively evaluating modern alternatives to legacy freight platforms.
Cold cohort #1 active. 30 freight operators in outreach. 3-touch + 5-touch contract renewal sequences. Targeting brokers spending $3K+/month on legacy TMS approaching their 2026 contract decision window.
Partners program live. Tier structure with referral fees and co-branded materials. Strategic partners get priority onboarding support. Reseller tier available for agencies and freight consultants.
Founder & CEO, Hatchway Trade Group, Inc.
Robert N. Jarrett brings over 30 years of freight industry experience. He built Hatchway Trade Group from the ground up and developed HatchOS because no existing platform could handle the operational demands of a modern brokerage.
He also founded RL Jarrett & Associates (est. February 2008), a freight and logistics consulting firm that has served the industry for nearly two decades. He understands the operational reality of running a brokerage — not as an outsider looking in, but from decades of building and operating freight businesses.
We're looking for a lead investor who understands freight logistics, SaaS scalability, or both. If that's you, let's talk.
Target close: Summer 2026. Capital-efficient raise with meaningful traction and a live customer. Every dollar deployed toward growth, not product-market fit validation.
No tourist. Robert Jarrett has run freight operations for 30+ years. He built HatchOS because he had to — no existing tool could handle what he needed.
HatchOS is currently in Alpha with Hatchway Trade Group as anchor customer. This is a pre-seed / early seed round — not a Series A. We're raising to scale from 1 to 10+ tenants.
