Nauta, an AI-powered logistics orchestration platform, has secured $7 million in seed funding to transform global logistics, starting with importers. Led by Construct Capital and Predictive, with participation from notable angel investors, the funding will accelerate Nauta’s mission to streamline supply chain operations, reduce costs, and enhance decision-making through AI-driven solutions.
Global logistics faces increasing complexity due to supply chain fragmentation, tariff volatility, and climate disruptions. Despite $5.3 trillion in U.S. goods traded in 2024, many importers rely on outdated tools like emails and spreadsheets. Nauta’s AI-powered platform provides a single source of truth, automating workflows and enabling proactive decision-making. “In logistics, every container tells its own story, but the systems involved rarely speak the same language,” said Valentina Jordan, CEO and co-founder of Nauta.
Since its Q1 2025 launch, Nauta has served importers in seven countries, supporting major brands like New Balance, L'Oréal, and Moët & Chandon. The platform has delivered remarkable results: up to 80% reduction in detention costs, 30% increase in operator productivity, and 75% faster container processing times. “Importers don’t just need visibility, they need the power to act before problems occur,” said Rafael Santiago, COO and co-founder. Nauta’s agentic AI capabilities streamline operations and enhance margins.
Co-founded by Valentina Jordan, former product and engineering lead at Rappi, and Rafael Santiago, a veteran of Caribbean logistics, Nauta is built by operators for operators. The funding round includes angel investors like Simón Borrero (Rappi CEO), Waikit Lau (RemoteHQ), and Juan Jose Gonzales (Windmar Energy), alongside early customer Soriana. “Supply chains don’t just move goods, they also move data and money,” said Camila Saruhashi, Partner at Construct Capital, highlighting Nauta’s role in connecting stakeholders across the supply chain.
With U.S. imports from Asia and Latin America exceeding $2.3 trillion in 2024, and 70% of supply chain leaders reconfiguring their global footprint, the need for AI-native solutions is critical. Nauta’s platform eliminates manual workflows, reduces errors, and empowers importers to navigate demand fluctuations and cost volatility. The funding will fuel global expansion and further platform development, positioning Nauta as a leader in logistics innovation.
Nauta’s $7M seed funding marks a pivotal step in modernizing global logistics. By harnessing AI to deliver visibility, control, and efficiency, Nauta empowers importers to thrive in a complex, trillion-dollar market, setting a new standard for supply chain orchestration.
Nauta is an AI-powered logistics orchestration platform built by and for operators.

By applying business logic at the container level, Nauta unlocks smarter, faster decisions that give operators improved control, visibility, and margins across global trade.
