One of the strongest early signals of extreme PMF is when your customers want to invest in your company. When your earliest users want to become equity holders, you're probably onto something special.
Karta is the latest in a series of businesses that are proving the strong value proposition of stablecoins to consumers in global markets. Such a fun moment in time.
Congrats to the Karta team on the Series A and credit facility, @Freddyjuez and team.
This is an amazing read. @conkarta couldn’t have picked better partners than @mgiampapa1 and @JamesKibbie
The level of conviction and understanding of the business is something I've not come across so far. Excited for this partnership! 🚀
Galaxy Ventures co-led @conkarta's $140M Series A alongside CIM.
Karta reported growth 10x in 2025, with revenue and total payment volume (“TPV”) up another 4x quarter-over-quarter in Q1 2026 alone and a target of $1.2B in annualized TPV by year-end.¹
This is a new US credit card with premium benefits for the global traveler, no SSN required.
Today we're thrilled to announce our $15M Series A and $125M warehouse facility.
The round was led by @galaxyhq and CIM respectively, with @IlluminateFM joining as a new investor and @canary_ventures and Clocktower Ventures doubling down on us.
Karta has never been in a stronger position.
With this capital, we're doubling down on distribution across LatAm, prepping expansions into Europe and Asia, expanding our concierge capabilities, and launching a premium tier card + corporate card for our most sophisticated users.
One thing I learned in fintech that applies to stablecoins: Customers really don’t care about the rails.
ACH, cards, RTP, FedNow, wires, whatever. They care whether it works.
Is it fast?
Can they trust it?
Can they use it everywhere?
Does it feel seamless?
Stablecoins get interesting as they fade into the background and simply make money movement better.
Today, we're launching Nuvo AI - the first AI-native freight execution engine for North American shippers. This is @nuvocargo's biggest launch to date.
If you are a manufacturer, wholesaler, distributor, retailer, or any kind of shipper moving North America truckload freight - then Nuvo AI was built for you. Check out our launch video below. More relevant links in the next tweet below (@FreightWaves, link to set up a demo, and more).
Nuvo AI acts as an extension of your team — 12+ AI agents, 70%+ automated touchpoints per load, dedicated human freight experts on your account, and a network of 300K+ carriers managing your freight end to end: procurement, execution, monitoring, compliance, audit & pay, and reporting.
We don't sell software, we sell outcomes powered by AI:
- Spend less on freight — we automate hundreds of hours of manual work, reduce your software spend, and cut your direct freight costs. Many of our customers are seeing 7-20% freight spend reduction in year 1
- Improve service levels — we hold ourselves accountable to your metrics: OTIF, OTP, OTD, landed cost.
- Simplify your supply chain — one platform instead of 15+ tools to implement, train on, and manage. Less vendors, less work, less headaches for you.
- Stay ahead on AI — we evaluate the latest AI models and tools and constantly swap in the best on your behalf. A dedicated Silicon Valley engineering team making those decisions for you, so you don't have to.
You can get started by tendering us as little as 10 US truckloads. No long implementations. No rip and replace. No training your team on yet another freight SaaS point solution. No long “process mapping” with the 10th AI agent startup.
This isn’t just software; hold Nuvocargo accountable to business outcomes. Our team of human freight experts who have moved over 100k+ loads at top logistics companies work closely as part of your team.
Once you've run as few as 10 loads in our pilot and seen the platform in action - we'll work with you to build the ROI and business case for your C-suite to run all - or a large portion - of your freight through Nuvo AI.
Nuvo AI works seamlessly with your existing trusted carriers and freight brokers. We help strengthen those relationships while driving deeper accountability and results. You can also tap into our growing network of 300k+ carriers to keep driving down costs as rates start climbing.
We rebuilt our entire platform in 2024 for the age of AI. It has already run tens of thousands of real loads - domestic US, US-MX-CA cross-border, FTL, LTL, multi-stop, dryvan, reefer, and more. Our agents are battle tested with thousands of edge cases and continue to improve as AI models get better.
Our team of human freight veterans supervise the agents, handle edge cases, and work your freight every day. We're not a new AI startup figuring out how freight works.
Who knew that freight, the Roman empire, and AI all had something in common?! Thanks @NoiMahoney for the awesome coverage!
Tomorrow is @nuvocargo's biggest launch to date. Below is a sneek peak.
What the hell does freight have to do with the Roman empire? Follow me so you can see yourself - tomorrow!
