Dubai-based logistics startup RSA Cross-Border (RSA XB) has secured a $1.5 million Seed round led by 21 Ventures.

Quick Facts
- Funding: $1.5 Million Seed Round
- Lead Investor: 21 Ventures
- Mission: Simplifying cross-border shipping for SMEs
- HQ: Dubai, UAE
A New Chapter and a Modular Approach
Operating independently from its former parent company RSA Global, RSA XB is focused on building a flexible logistics experience tailored for the e-commerce era. The company’s platform is built on a “service modules” model, allowing businesses to design integrated, white-label international shipping services.
This approach lets SMEs combine services like air freight, customs clearance, and last-mile delivery as needed for each shipment, without investing in heavy infrastructure or high operational overhead.
AI-Powered Automation for Supply Chains
A core component of the RSA XB platform is its artificial intelligence layer, which automates daily operational tasks. The technology helps coordinate and accelerate the workflow between various supply chain partners, including freight companies, customs agents, and last-mile delivery providers.
The platform also enables smaller companies to benefit from shipment consolidation, giving them access to cost savings and efficient routes that were previously only available to larger market players.
Fueling Expansion Across Key Trade Corridors
With the new capital, RSA XB plans to enhance its technology platform, bolster its data management capabilities, and expand its operations over the next 18 months. The company is initially targeting key trade corridors connecting India, the United Kingdom, Europe, and the GCC states, capitalizing on growing interest from Indian companies in international markets.
Based in Dubai with extensive operations in India, RSA XB also intends to raise an additional funding round by the end of 2026 to accelerate its growth in the competitive digital logistics sector.
