No order in commerce should move on a guess

Burq is the company writing the third record: why every order moved the way it did, written down and checkable, on every order it moves. Read the founders' letter →

What we believe

The principles behind every decision

01

Proof, not faith

Every decision Burq makes is written down with its reasons and graded against what actually happened.

02

Neutral by construction

Burq owns no drivers and no vehicles. When it decides how an order moves, there is nothing to favor but your order.

03

Autonomy is earned

Authority is granted one segment at a time, on evidence you can read, and comes back down the moment a hard rule breaks. Never on day one, never on a demo.

04

The record is the product

What moved and what it cost were always written down. Why it moved this way is what we add, on every order, and it is what every other product of ours reads from.

Our impact

Burq has already moved more than half a billion dollars of orders for some of the largest brands

Every one of them left a record. Each one makes the next order better.

The name
Burq
/ noun · lightning /
Proto-Semitic baraq → barq → burq · six thousand years, one word

Burq means lightning across the Semitic languages, a root six thousand years old, older than the first written record. We chose it for how lightning works: it branches down many paths at once, testing each, and the strike takes the one that proves fastest to ground. Not guessed. Tested, then taken, instantly.

The first two records took five thousand years

The third is just beginning. Come build it with us.
