What looks like a marginal gain in freight orchestration often becomes a significant unlock at scale. At Beyond Query, we invest in startups that solve what we call "invisible frictions"—those seemingly minor inefficiencies that ripple across entire systems and multiply downstream impact. Whether it’s a smarter dock scheduling engine, dynamic trailer routing, or predictive load balancing, these are not just upgrades—they are operational catalysts.

These types of improvements don't typically make headlines, but they reduce costs, enhance reliability, and boost throughput with remarkable consistency. More importantly, they are the backbone of scalable logistics. Our investment thesis isn't built on moonshots; it's grounded in compounding efficiencies that quietly outperform.

What makes these frictions so valuable to solve is their embedded nature. They’re woven into legacy processes, human workflows, and under-optimized systems. That means once resolved, they tend to stay fixed—delivering long-term ROI that compounds as the business scales. We look for teams who understand not just how to build great tools, but how to deploy them where friction lives, often where few are looking.

“In freight, 1% efficiency isn't small. It's survival.”

We back founders who live in the nuance—those who see what others overlook and design for the long tail of value. In logistics, the real edge isn’t found in sweeping disruption—it's in mastering the operational details that scale with precision. That's where resilience is built. That's where margin lives.
