A quote starts in the inbox
A shipper asks for a price. The lane might be in the email, equipment details in an attachment and the deadline in a follow-up. The forwarder has to put those pieces together before giving the shipper an answer. [1][2]
Rumbo reads the request and attachments and builds a quote for the operator to review. The operator can check the details and decide what goes out. [1][2]
After the quote, the shipment
The same inbox keeps filling up once a shipment is booked. Rumbo also handles updates, drafts messages and prepares documents for review. The company started with freight forwarders on trade lanes between the United States and Latin America. [1][2]
Built around the forwarder’s desk
Guido Haissiner, Agustin Baiocco and Gonzalo Leiva founded Rumbo in 2026 and joined a16z speedrun’s seventh cohort. Leiva had spent twelve years in freight forwarding, working on the same kinds of shipments the team is building for. [2]
