We are on a mission to make global trade move at the speed of light.

01
Integrity is Binary
Truth is not a spectrum. We own the facts, escalate risks early, and prioritize constructive candor over artificial comfort. We argue with data, learn in public, and build trust through transparency. In our high-stakes world, trust is our most critical asset, and integrity is the one thing we will never trade for speed, convenience, or comfort.
02
Relentless Momentum
Every day is a new beginning. We combat complacency, reject institutional momentum, and default to urgency. The problems we solve are hard and systemic, which is why our default is grit. We adapt to setbacks, recalibrate, and drive forward with conviction. Relentless momentum is our operating requirement.
03
Own, Decide, Commit
Action is our default, and velocity is our advantage. We assign a single owner to every decision. Debate is healthy and time-boxed. Once a decision is made, the entire crew commits, and we execute without second-guessing or relitigating. We move forward together, with conviction. Brevity over verbosity.
04
Obsession Creates Speed
We reject the false choice between moving fast and building great things. In our world, a single flawed data point can have massive consequences, so we obsesses over every detail. We believe clean architecture, clear thinking, and meticulous work are the foundation for moving faster, sustainably. Precision isn't the enemy of speed; it's the source of it.

Founding Team

SAIL was founded by a handful of engineers and MBA graduates from Cornell Tech and NYU who have lived the pain of navigating global trade regulations from both the technology and industry sides. We have set out to build the AI‑native operating system the trade compliance community has been missing. We design intelligent systems to collaborate with expert teams so importers can navigate regulations, manage costs and unlock new opportunities with confidence.
