About Liminal

Revolutionizing Supply Chain Communications

Our Story

Hillary Drake, Liminal Network’s CEO and co-founder, has spent her career at the intersection of supply chain operations and technology.

As supply chains grew more complex, she saw how challenging it was for business systems to talk to each other and how this communication breakdown added complexity, raised costs, and aggravated customers.  

Hillary saw there was a better way to connect partners and deliver data where it’s needed. Working together, Hillary and Josiah founded Liminal with the simple goal of building tools that allow businesses to communicate with each other in real time. 

As a company working in the space between businesses, they chose the name Liminal Network to highlight how they were defining the space between businesses and their partners.  A liminal space is an undefined space between two things that Liminal fills. 

At Liminal, we’re committed to building tools that solve today’s practical problems for businesses.  Our unique technology, secure architecture, and commitment to data privacy provide our customers with a competitive advantage by providing frictionless communication with their partners.
