Ekho Labs is a prescriptive intelligence platform for freight teams managing ocean lanes through disrupted corridors, translating geopolitical and operational risk into specific actions inside the systems shippers already run. Instead of surfacing news alerts, it pushes PO-level reroutes, carrier alternatives, and booking windows into the customer's TMS days before a disruption hits, sitting alongside stacks like CargoWise, SAP TM, Oracle OTM, and Descartes through a read-only API that goes live in under 24 hours. The launch matters because 2025 and 2026 have stacked disruptions faster than most supply chain teams can react to them, from Suez and Hormuz closures to port strikes, tariff swings, and sanctions changes. Ekho's approach is to combine more than 10,000 public and licensed data sources, including sanctions registries, AIS, port authority feeds, carrier EDI, weather models, social signal networks, and congressional and union communications, into a risk model built for freight teams . The company publishes verified case studies of its calls, including a Hamburg to Jeddah reroute it says it flagged 18 days before the carrier filing during the Suez disruption in March 2026. Ekho Labs is a YC S26 company founded by Alina Park, CEO, who has spoken about the platform on RANE's Applied Geopolitics podcast about using AI to anticipate geopolitical and supply chain risks . The company counts Renée Ure, former COO of Lenovo ISG, among its advisors , and is targeting supply chain, procurement, and logistics leaders who need a concrete next move rather than another risk dashboard.
