## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2019 by Sam Lurye, Kargo, previously known as Cognisense, operates as a developer of smart loading docks built to handle supply chain processes. The company features a centralized platform to view shipping and supplier data, incoming and outgoing shipment visibility with real-time ASN verification and monitoring and measuring the real-time performance of suppliers, thus enabling various industries such as logistics, automotive, and distribution to save time, gain insights and make better business and operational decisions. In December 2025, Kargo Technologies Corp. raised USD 42 million in series B funding led by Avenir Growth Capital, with participation from Linse Capital, Hearst Ventures, Lightbank, Matter Venture Partners, and Sozo Ventures.

The company ships the physical sensor towers to the loading dock. The computer vision sensor is able to automatically identify and verify all incoming and outgoing freight in real-time. The accompanying software platform takes in all of that data, which can then be used by customers to take a macro or micro view of its supply chain. 

The company makes money by selling sensors and then offers a software subscription that gives customers access to the data. The platform allowed its customers to reduce loading times by more than 40%, the predictive feature built by Kargo enable customers to be informed of forecasting whether shipments will be late or missed.

The company will use the December 2025 funding to accelerate its mission to transform real-time inventory data infrastructure across warehousing and logistics globally.
