NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., October 26, 2026. Logistar, the U.S. logistics company behind ShippingCow, today launched Star Talent, a youth empowerment program that brings students inside a working warehouse to learn from the people who run it. Its goal: building the next group of supply chain entrepreneurs, one box at a time. The first stop is Rutgers.
The tour: October 28, at 520 Jersey Ave
- Walk a working warehouse
See how goods move from the port to the customer and back again as returns, on the floor of an active warehouse.
- Inside the refurbishment center
Watch returned electronics get tested and repaired at the bench, and see how failure data turns into better products.
- Jay's talk, then open Q&A
01 · AI and the future of logistics and supply chain. 02 · Why returns refurbishment is a must-have. Then ask him anything.

Your host: founder Jay Li
Jay Li is an electrical engineer. He worked on a U.S. Navy engineering team, and in 2018 he received the Admiral Harold R. Stark Award for Innovation. In 2019 he left that job and started Logistar with two people and 500 square feet of basement. Today Logistar runs more than 400,000 square feet of its own warehouse space in New Jersey, California and Texas, and Jay still walks the warehouse floor every day.
"I carried every box myself at the start. I still walk the floor every day, because that's where you see what a seller actually needs."Jay Li, founder of Logistar
