Documented cause
MVMNT built an AI-powered freight brokerage platform targeting mid-market shippers who were underserved by legacy brokers like C.H. Robinson and Echo Global. The product gained traction during the 2021 freight boom when capacity was tight and shippers would try anything. But when the freight market normalized in 2022-2023, shipping rates collapsed and shipper urgency to adopt new platforms evaporated. MVMNT was acquired by C.H. Robinson in 2023 at a valuation far below its $200M peak, giving the incumbent the technology it needed without the growth capital it would have cost.
Lesson
“Platform traction gained during market disruptions is not durable — sustainable freight tech requires advantages independent of market tightness.”
