Posted in r/investors recently and got some great feedback. Figured this community might have useful perspective on the technical side.

I built an AI freight marketplace. 13 years in trucking, ran a brokerage, sold it, built this. First 30 days: $109,951 MRR, 572 paid carriers, 4,200 loads, zero fraud, 91% retention.

We are building smart contract infrastructure for automated freight payment. Carrier delivers, GPS confirms, clean POD uploaded, payment releases automatically. No manual intervention.

Three paths we are weighing:

1. Native FLOW token for settlement and carrier reputation staking
2. USDC stablecoin rails, same smart contract logic, no native token
3. No crypto at all. Conditional release built on traditional ACH and bank rails

Honest feedback so far has pointed toward Option 2 or 3. The token adds investor friction without changing the core value of the automation.

Has anyone built conditional escrow and automated payment release in a B2B context? What did you learn? Is there a compelling case for a native token here that goes beyond the obvious tokenomics arguments?

Not looking for hype. Looking for people who have actually built something in this space.

13 years in trucking. Drove trucks, built a fleet, and ran a brokerage. Sold it. Built FreightFlow OS.

AI freight marketplace with same-day carrier payment, real-time fraud detection, and smart contract automation.

First 30 days:

572 paid carriers, 159 paid shippers, 18 paid brokers

$109,951 MRR, zero fraud, 91% carrier retention

Raising a bridge round ahead of a Series A. Also developing the FLOW token and smart contract payment rails. Looking for investors who bring capital and crypto knowledge.
