About Caspian
Caspian is an AI-powered trade advisor platform founded by customs and trade veterans from Flexport and headquartered in downtown San Francisco. As a licensed customs organization with direct integration to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the company helps businesses navigate complex trade regulations and recover duties through its initial focus on duty drawback recovery, targeting a $10B+ annual opportunity. With 80+ customers already in production and 4x+ revenue growth over the last six months, Caspian is rapidly establishing itself in the trade compliance space while expanding from duty drawback into a broader multi-product trade advisory platform. The lean team of approximately 10 people, including a specialized engineering group of 3, operates on a hybrid schedule from San Francisco and is preparing for a Series A funding round to accelerate growth.
