Supporting shipping’s digital journey since 2017
Sedna was founded in 2017 by maritime and technology expert, Bill Dobie, when key industry players like Glencore sought out a new approach to their communication challenge. The company is backed by Insight Partners, alongside Stride.VC, Chalfen Ventures, GK Goh Ventures and SAP.
Sedna is comprised of two products - Stream and Pulse - providing a data-driven communication platform specifically designed to transform the shipping and supply chain industry.
