North Vancouver-based Go99 is the Canadian First-Mover in the freight-matching space solving for the pain-points in the trucking industry. With a unique business model and fully transparent workflow, Go99 raises the quality of service current received by shippers as well as improving the per-mile rates and business control for the carriers. Go99 works like a “Tinder for Trucking, matching Cargo to be shipped with available Capacity in the marketplace”.
Reason for competing:
Inefficiency and lack of transparency in the trucking industry (Industry pain-points) was the inspiration behind the initial launch of Go99. They hope that their participation in the New Ventures BC competition will bring credibility and confidence for target customers, and will support their goals to scale and grow throughout 2019 and 2020.
Company highlight:
Go99 is proud of the performance of their technology, and the operations team. They’ve built a truly bootstrapped solution that meets industry expectations, with great product-market fit, and with minimum cash and time resources.
Greatest challenge:
The biggest challenge facing Go99 thus far is to change the target customer behaviour from the traditional archaic “middleman” model to an efficient and transparent mobile-device-empowered model of doing business.
Five-year outlook:
Go99 will either be one of the “Big 5” apps in North America solving the $800billion OTR trucking issues, or will be acquired by one of those 5.
