Digital Operations for the Caribbean
One platform for maritime logistics, customs brokerage, concrete manufacturing, and infrastructure development. Built for Caribbean operators running real businesses on email, WhatsApp, and desktop QuickBooks. AI that works invisibly before it works visibly.
The Operating Reality
Every maritime operator in the Bahamas and across the Caribbean runs into the same walls. The operation works because one person holds it together. That's a ceiling, not a foundation.
Industry benchmark is 45-60 days. Your accounts receivable represent 10 months of revenue. That gap costs over $100K per year in implied financing alone. Collections run on memory, not systems.
Every payment, regardless of size, routes through one desk. A $47 air freight charge sat waiting for CEO approval for 10 hours while a Fortune 100 client tested your reliability. The bottleneck is structural, not personal.
Maritime, concrete, development. Three businesses, three QuickBooks files, no consolidated view. Intercompany receivables exceed $2M. You don't know your true cost per concrete ton because labor, fuel, and maintenance aren't tracked at the job level.
The Platform
Instead of encoding business rules into rigid database schemas, we record what happens and use intelligent processing to determine what it means and what should happen next.
Maritime logistics, concrete manufacturing, residential development. Same platform, different instructions. No additional development per business line.
Port authority adds a health declaration requirement? Update the written instructions. Not code, not a developer, not a 4-week change request. Five minutes.
Workflow intelligence that reads bills of lading, cross-references C44 entries against commercial invoices, flags mismatches, and routes exceptions. No one talks to it. It just works.
Adoption Model
Your organization adopts AI at its own pace. Each business unit can be at a different stage.
System records and extracts. Your team works normally.
System flags what's missing or stalled. Humans validate.
System drafts documents and assembles packages. Humans approve.
System executes within approved boundaries. Humans set policy.
Why Sea Cay
Global logistics software wasn't designed for a 5-person customs brokerage in Freeport. Neither was hiring a dev shop to build from scratch.
CargoWise, GoFreight, Descartes — $50-150K/yr
Dev shop or freelancers — $150-300K+
Multi-business by architecture
Platform Capabilities
Every module serves the same goal: make your operation visible, enforceable, and scalable without adding headcount.
Digital onboarding with compliance document upload, quote requests, shipment and vessel call submission, real-time order tracking, and job history.
Vendor registration, certificate tracking, insurance renewal monitoring, and invoice submission against completed work.
Real-time visibility across all business units. Jobs in flight, bottleneck detection, approval routing with configurable delegation thresholds, proactive alerts.
Auto-extract from bills of lading, C44 entries, commercial invoices, and cargo manifests. Cross-reference documents, flag discrepancies before customs submission.
Bidirectional QuickBooks Online sync. AR aging automation, collection workflow enforcement, anomaly flagging, and weekly financial digest.
ClawMoat open-source security framework. Defined action boundaries: what's autonomous, what needs human approval, what's prohibited. Full audit trail with reasoning chains.
Domain Expertise
This platform was built with direct operational knowledge from inside a Caribbean maritime, concrete, and infrastructure business. We've mapped the workflows, the pain points, and the compliance requirements first-hand.
Every cargo movement carries its own document set, compliance requirements, and customs timeline. A shipment isn't valid until the document chain is complete and internally consistent.
A ship entering port is operationally separate from its cargo. Vessel documentation has hard deadlines tied to port authority requirements. Late or incomplete filings delay berthing.
Every actor in the system, whether importer, exporter, vessel owner, or vendor, carries a persistent compliance profile. Identity in Bahamian customs brokerage is regulated. Credentials expire. The platform tracks validity continuously.
The same architecture handles concrete manufacturing (mix design tracking, cost-per-ton analysis, batch tickets) and infrastructure development (milestone tracking, draw schedules, permit status). Different workflows, same platform.
Bahamas Customs electronic processing. All customs transactions filed through Click2Clear. Every party must hold valid registration.
Standard customs entry document. Data must reconcile with commercial invoice, BOL, and manifest. Discrepancies are the #1 cause of clearance delays.
Business licenses, TIN certificates, bond status, Click2Clear registrations all expire. An expired credential at customs entry is an operational failure.
Bonded cargo needs bond numbers. Offshore operations need boarding logistics. The platform evaluates context and surfaces the correct requirements automatically.

Who We Are
Dar and Glen began their careers at Bain & Company — Dar in the Dallas, Texas office, Glen in Johannesburg, South Africa — partnering with management teams to streamline operations, eliminate bottlenecks, and build the systems that make scaling possible. That foundation shapes everything Sea Cay builds: real operational rigor, not software demos.
Co-Founder & CEO — Caribbean Operations
Founder and Group President of Heroic Group Limited — a Freeport, Bahamas-based enterprise spanning maritime logistics (Fowlco Maritime and Project Services), ready-mix concrete manufacturing (Heroic Concrete and Concrete Products), and real estate development. Built the group from the ground up over 7+ years, running port agency, customs brokerage, freight forwarding, and infrastructure project services across the Caribbean.
Certified by Lloyd's Maritime Academy in Port Agency, Logistics Management, Dry Dock Logistics, and Port Operations. MBA from the University of Arkansas (Organizational Leadership). Prior career in HR and Training & Development at AML Foods Limited. The market access, regulatory knowledge, and operator credibility that no technology company can replicate — the network that opens every door in Caribbean maritime.

Started at Bain & Company (Dallas) advising Fortune 500 clients on operational restructuring and GTM strategy — including Ford's Visteon IPO and the Salt Lake City 2002 Winter Olympics cost containment. Moved to Deutsche Bank M&A in New York, then Lehman Brothers before joining vSpring Capital, a $450M Utah venture capital firm, where he sourced and evaluated investments across SaaS, hardware, and services.
Founded Greener Equity, which became Carta's exclusive 409A valuation provider before being acquired by Econ Partners/Ryan. Built one of the largest business valuation practices in the U.S., completing 1,000+ valuations across maritime, manufacturing, SaaS, logistics, and construction. Fractional CFO for a Bahamian maritime and infrastructure group — direct inside knowledge of vessel operations, customs brokerage, AR challenges, and inter-company structures. Creator of ClawMoat, open-source AI agent security framework.
Co-Founder — Capital & Strategy

Partner at Peninsula Growth Capital since 2008 — 18 years investing in and building businesses that reshape industries.
Creator of SumoClaw, a production multi-tenant AI agent platform with per-client isolation, persistent memory, and hierarchical coordination — the technical backbone behind Sea Cay's agent architecture. Also built Kojinsa (competitive intelligence) and TeamSkip (coaching platform for TrainingPeaks). Rare combination: senior finance and strategy background with hands-on AI development capability, translating complex business problems directly into working systems.
AI Engineer & Full-Stack Developer
Production AI engineer specializing in agentic systems and RAG pipelines. Builds multi-agent systems using LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, and AutoGen — the orchestration layer that makes Sea Cay's Tier 2 agent automation work at scale. Designs RAG pipelines with vector databases (Pinecone) to ground LLMs on proprietary operational data.
Full-stack capability across Python/FastAPI/Django backend and React/Next.js frontend, deployed on AWS, Azure, and GCP with Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines. Brings the architectural discipline of relational database design (PostgreSQL) as a deliberate counterweight in the platform's data layer — the engineer who stress-tests every decision before it ships.
Get Started
Every operator's workflows are different. We start with a discovery call to understand your specific pain points, document flows, and compliance requirements. No pitch deck, no generic demo. We'll walk through your actual operating reality.
