About DayJob
DayJob builds AI agents for short-haul trucking - a $45bn market still run on spreadsheets, phone calls and software from the 1990s.
We've just completed Y Combinator , are scaling towards $1M ARR , growing ~20% month-on-month, and launching in the US. Our customers include some of the largest waste and recycling operators in the UK and US, and we're backed by leading investors including Paul Graham (Founder of Y Combinator) and Harry Stebbings (Founder of 20VC).
Dayjob has developed its own proprietary models, which wouldn’t have been possible until now, delivering hundreds of thousands of pounds in additional revenue to its customers. This is a once in a generation opportunity to change how these businesses operate, industries where software adoption has been slow but where AI adoption can completely change their economics.
About the Optimisation Team
Deploying state-of-the-art algorithms into legacy businesses is one way to think about what we do at Dayjob. Hence, optimisation is the cornerstone of what we do; saving 1% time on the road gives our customers hundreds of thousands more revenue and saves gallons of diesel on wasted mileage.
We’ve launched models to optimise roll-off vehicles in the waste sector; this is just the tip of the iceberg.
