Donkey

Founders

Minghao TanBenjamin Martindale

Donkey is an AI-native trading company that turns the shipping container into a shopping cart for US importers. Buyers upload their buying list and instantly see every landed price with tariffs and delivery included. Donkey sources factory-direct from China, takes title to the goods, and delivers duty-paid, putting one company responsible for everything between the factory floor and the buyer's door. The platform uses public customs records to identify real factories and pull competitive quotes, with pricing that is deterministic and transparent. Backed by Y Combinator (S26), Donkey is initially focused on independent wholesale distributors and small-to-mid-sized businesses that have historically been locked out of container-direct pricing.

Company Founded in 2025
