The story

Shaed launched in 2021 as the CommercialEVs.com marketplace focused on fleet electrification. It subsequently repositioned as a fuel-agnostic commercial vehicle procurement platform (ICE, hybrid, EV) connecting fleets, dealers, OEMs, upfitters, and logistics partners. The current product is an AI-first transaction network for configure/price/quote, order tracking, and document management rather than a financial services product.
