Oway focuses on building an ecosystem that takes inefficiency (unused truck space) and turns it into a decentralized shipping platform that enables significantly faster and cheaper deliveries for small batch freight shipments up to 12 pallets. For carriers, integrating Oway can immediately increase annual revenues by up to 30% with almost no impact to existing delivery schedules.In a technical sense, Oway applies stochastic spread optimization and real-time liquidity modeling to dynamically price freight shipments, effectively functioning as a decentralized market maker optimizing expected value across variable supply constraints. It provides a simple UI and API for businesses to leverage this tool for any means. | $4M | Seed | Aug 22, 2025 |  |
