Toronto, ON - September 26, 2025 – Freightzy has been named to The Globe and Mail's 2025 list of Top Growing Companies, a recognition that highlights the freight tech startup's rapid rise as a shipping partner for small and mid-sized businesses across North America.
Founded during the early months of COVID and bootstrapped from day one, Freightzy was built to solve a specific problem: smaller companies were being locked out of the same shipping infrastructure that large enterprises rely on. The company has since grown into a full-service freight platform, combining logistics technology with human-led operational support to serve shippers across Canada, the United States, and Mexico.
The numbers reflect that trajectory. Freightzy has doubled revenue over the past three years, achieved 37% year-over-year growth, and is on track for 30% growth in 2025."
It's hard to believe I was once laughed out of a bank and told to start a Subway franchise," said Freightzy founder Sean Freedman. "Being named a Globe & Mail Top Growing Company proves just how much smaller businesses needed someone to step in and deliver transparency, intuitive technology, and a level of human-led customer service that's rare in an industry often seen as faceless."
Why SMBs Struggle with Freight - and How Freightzy Changes That
Small and mid-sized shippers face a set of challenges that larger enterprises rarely deal with. Low shipment volumes mean weaker carrier negotiations. Limited in-house logistics expertise leads to overpaying for services like full truckloads when LTL would suffice. And most traditional freight providers offer little in the way of real-time visibility, upfront pricing, or responsive support at the SMB level.
Freightzy was designed around these gaps. Rather than requiring shippers to navigate freight complexity on their own, the Extend platform provides access to enterprise-grade shipping infrastructure without minimum volume thresholds or long-term contracts.
What Freightzy Offers Growing Businesses
Carrier Access and Rate Transparency
Freightzy connects shippers to a network of over 1,200 pre-vetted carriers across Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. Rates are presented upfront through the platform, giving businesses clear pricing before they commit - eliminating the opaque quoting process that has long been standard in the industry.
Technology Built for Visibility and Control
The platform includes a mobile-friendly custom portal with real-time end-to-end shipment tracking. Freightzy also offers a suite of planning tools - including a Freight Class Calculator, Instant Shipping Calculator, Cubic Capacity Calculator, and Carbon Emissions Calculator designed to help shippers make informed decisions before booking.
Human-Led Support at Every Step
Freightzy provides 24/7 human-led support across every shipment. That combination of responsive service and a 95%+ on-time delivery rate has become a key differentiator in a freight industry where SMBs are often treated as low-priority accounts. You contact us any time.
Temperature-Controlled LTL for Small Business
Freightzy recently launched its Reefer LTL Program - North America's most accessible temperature-controlled shipping solution for small businesses. The program opens up a freight category that has traditionally required high volumes and dedicated carrier relationships, giving smaller shippers access to reefer capacity through the same platform they already use for dry freight.
What the Globe & Mail Recognition Means for Freightzy
Being named to the 2025 Top Growing Companies list is a milestone, but for Freightzy, the recognition points to something larger than revenue growth. It validates a model built on the belief that small businesses deserve the same freight infrastructure, pricing transparency, and service quality that large shippers have always had access to.
As the company continues to scale across North America, the focus remains the same: remove complexity, reduce cost, and give every shipper - regardless of size - the tools and support to move freight with confidence.
From quirky stoicism-inspired marketing to obsessive customer service, Freightzy aims to bring levity and peace of mind to its clients.
