The Trade Lab · Boston/Cambridge, MA

About The Trade Lab

The Trade Lab is an AI-powered platform that monitors tariff changes and helps companies optimize global trade and supply chains in real time. We help importers, exporters, and customs teams classify products, calculate duties and landed costs, prepare customs documentation, and identify savings opportunities. Learn more at thetradelab.ai!

Founded out of MIT, we are backed by Alpha Edison, Bonfire Ventures, and Okapi Venture Capital. Less than a year in, we already work with large enterprise customers, and are growing quickly.

We decided that we're not relocating to SF, we’re building in Cambridge!

We’re putting together a dream team of exceptional engineers from MIT, Harvard, and the broader Boston tech ecosystem. If you’re in the area and want to build with a hungry team, using AI to solve real-world business problems, we’d love to hear from you.

We also have a hacker house near MIT and will be hosting more events throughout the year.
