Advisory Board
Lima Xi is bringing together a small, high-calibre advisory board of industry veterans and entrepreneurs who want a front-row seat — and a stake — in what comes next.
The intelligence layer global trade never had
Lima Xi is developing a predictive intelligence platform for global air cargo and trade capacity — purpose-built for the operators, carriers and intermediaries who move the world's freight. Real-time corridor intelligence, scenario modelling and financial impact quantification in a single platform.
We are seed-stage and moving toward a Series A at Month 18. Our founding team brings decades of senior operating experience across aviation, logistics and international trade, including former C-suite roles at Polar Air Cargo and DHL Express Asia Pacific.
The platform's core proprietary layer — the Tension Index — quantifies supply and demand imbalances at corridor level before they are visible in the market. Our data architecture and scenario engine give operators an informational edge that has not existed in this industry before.
Company leadership
The mandate
01Airlines & GSAs
- Cargo commercial, capacity, yield management or network leadership
- Mainline carrier or regional airline background
02Freight forwarding
- Senior leadership at a global or regional freight forwarder
- Airfreight, NVOCC or 3PL experience
03Ocean carriers & ports
- Commercial, operations or digital leadership at a container line or port operator
- Cross-modal perspective on capacity dynamics
04Express & integrators
- Network, commercial or technology leadership
- DHL, FedEx, UPS, SF Express or similar
05Rail & trucking
- Multimodal operators with land-side capacity visibility
- Cross-border corridor dynamics experience
06Technology & founders
- Built and scaled SaaS, data or intelligence platforms

What we're looking for
What we ask
- Introductions to relevant operators, carriers or commercial decision-makers in your network
- Honest product feedback — tell us what we are missing or getting wrong
- Occasional calls or strategy sessions; we respect that your time is finite
- Support opening doors to pilot customers or early commercial conversations
- Your name and credibility associated with Lima Xi, which we will never take lightly
What we offer
- Equity compensation via options or warrants — founding advisor terms, agreed individually
- Founding Advisor status, recognised in all investor and commercial materials
- Full visibility into the platform, the roadmap and the business as it develops
- A seat at the table with a founding team that has operated at the highest levels of this industry
- Flexible, low-friction engagement structured around your availability, not ours
High calibre. Now forming.
Our advisory board is forming now. Our first confirmed advisor brings senior cargo commercial leadership from Delta Air Lines and Lufthansa Cargo — a signal of the calibre of operator Lima Xi is attracting at this stage.
- We are deliberately keeping the board small and high quality
- Every seat matters, and every advisor has genuine access to the founding team
- Full visibility into the platform and roadmap as it develops
- Founding advisor status recognised across investor and commercial materials
- Equity participation agreed individually, not a boilerplate template
Before you apply
What is the time commitment?
Deliberately flexible. Occasional calls and strategy sessions, structured around your availability. We are not looking to fill your calendar — we are looking for judgement at the right moments.
How is the advisory equity structured?
Via options or warrants on founding advisor terms, agreed individually rather than from a fixed template. We discuss it openly in the first conversation.
Do I need air cargo experience specifically?
No. We are building across airlines, forwarding, ocean, express, rail and technology. Cross-modal and adjacent perspective is genuinely valuable — some of the sharpest feedback comes from outside the immediate vertical.
Who is already on the board?
The board is forming now. Our first confirmed advisor brings senior cargo commercial leadership from Delta Air Lines and Lufthansa Cargo. We are keeping the group deliberately small.
