Opereit

������������ Barcelona-based Opereit raised $2.5 million in pre-seed funding on 3 June 2026, less than two months after its launch, in a round led by Seedcamp and Yellow.\n\nThe startup builds AI agents that detect errors in transportation invoices, identify lost or damaged shipments, file claims with carriers, and manage the full recovery process without human intervention. It competes with US-headquartered freight audit incumbents such as Cass Information Systems and nVision Global, built on rule-based engines that predate the European mid-market's carrier complexity. Opereit is built natively on agentic AI for European carrier ecosystems, backed by Yellow, whose Glovo co-founders carry direct operational experience with the billing pain points Opereit targets.\n\nFounder Pablo Cousin encountered the problem as an early operator at REVER, the YC-backed returns management platform, where transport-related losses were consistently slipping through the cracks.\n\n\"Every month we saw the same black hole. Carriers overcharging, claims that were impossible to track, and money lost in processes that lacked visibility. The problem isn't operational, it's structural.\" — Pablo Cousin, Founder, Opereit.\n\nIn its first audit with Nude Project, Opereit identified over $200,000 in recoverable claims. Early customers also include Amphora Logistics and sustainable apparel brand Ecoalf.\n\nThe round included Baobab Ventures, Kima Ventures, Enzo Ventures, OPRTRS Club, Masia, and angel investor Dídac Lee, founder of Galdana Ventures. Capital will fund product development, team growth, and European commercial expansion.\n\n\"Logistics is one of the last great frontiers for AI automation. Carrier billing is where the losses are biggest and the solutions have been weakest.\" — Felix Martinez, Principal, Seedcamp.\n\nBusinesses can onboard within 48 hours. The global logistics industry moves over €9 trillion in goods annually, with estimates suggesting companies lose up to 10% of annual logistics spend to overcharges, billing errors, and unclaimed credits.\n\nThe investor conviction here rests on traction, not thesis. A $200,000 claims recovery in a first audit, before a Series A competitor enters the European mid-market, is the signal that closed this round in under two months.\n\n#Opereit #Logistics #AIAgents #Barcelona #Seedcamp
