Pax
AI Broker for Tariff Refunds
If you are part of Pax (or you are a YC founder who looks at Pax and thinks that is the kind of business I run), you probably do not have time for a six-month SEO agency contract. Seoable was built for that. Audit your site, queue 100 ready-to-publish posts, and run it all from your AI assistant.
About Pax
Pax uses AI to automate tariff refunds (aka duty drawback) for retailers and manufacturers. We launched 4 weeks ago and have ~$200K in contracts. Each year, 80% of eligible refunds—equivalent to $15B—go unclaimed. Pax is the first AI-powered broker helping brands under $50M reclaim 3-5% of their revenue. Our algorithms generate 15% more refunds than the industry leader and reduce processing time by 99% with AI. We are two technical founders: Penny got her PhD from MIT and, and was a former research scientist at Amazon & Flexport, where I encountered the problem firsthand. Chris is a second-time founder and former software engineer at Amazon, Brex, and TikTok.

- SEO that includes AI engines. Our audits check what ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, DeepSeek, and Grok already say about you, not just Google.
