In the Seaweeds – Episode 6: Krenar Komoni (Tive)Recorded live from Manifest in Las Vegas, Graham Parker sits down with Krenar Komoni, CEO and Founder of Tive, to unpack what it really takes to build hardware and software that supply chains trust at scale.Krenar shares his journey from tinkering with electronics as a kid in Kosovo to launching Tive in 2015, and why timing (LTE/IoT, sensor miniaturization, global connectivity) mattered as much as conviction. They dive into the “full stack” reality of shipment visibility: firmware, sensor accuracy, data reliability, and the unglamorous operational machinery required to support customers globally as you scale into the millions of devices.The conversation also takes a sharp turn into AI, why software is being commoditized faster than anyone expected, what defensible moats look like in 2026, and why real-time physical data is about to become even more valuable as agents and automation move from theory to workflow.If you care about visibility, resilience, cold chain, or building durable supply chain tech in a world that’s changing weekly, this one’s for you.
