Galatica
Founded by Sahal Hassan · New York · Climate and Energy · Early revenue / pilot stage with platform development and initial enterprise and government engagement underway.
Galatica is a digital trade infrastructure platform that brings transparency, verification, and efficiency to cross-border commerce for governments and enterprises. We help modernize global trade systems while expanding access for underrepresented suppliers in emerging markets.
Galatica’s mission is to modernize and democratize global trade by replacing fragmented, opaque, and trust-based systems with a transparent, verifiable digital trade infrastructure. We focus on reducing friction, fraud, and inefficiencies in cross-border transactions for governments, enterprises, and exporters. Our initial geographic focus is the United States, the Middle East, Africa, and Australia, with a strong emphasis on emerging markets that are underrepresented in global trade flows.
Galatica creates social impact by increasing transparency, trust, and access in global trade systems that disproportionately exclude emerging-market suppliers and smaller exporters. By reducing corruption, inefficiency, and information asymmetry, we help enable fairer participation in international commerce. Our work aligns with UN Sustainable Development Goals related to economic growth, industry innovation, reduced inequalities, and responsible institutions.
What they need right now
At this stage, our most pressing needs are strategic introductions to enterprise and government stakeholders, guidance from operators who have scaled regulated or infrastructure platforms, and partnerships that can help accelerate pilots and real-world adoption. We are also actively building relationships with mission-aligned investors and advisors who understand long-term infrastructure plays.
