Roadie
Atlanta, GA
Roadie is the first “on-the-way” delivery network, an app-based community that puts unused capacity in passenger vehicles to work by connecting senders with drivers who are already going that way. Roadie enables efficient, low cost delivery and rewards drivers for trips they were already taking. With nearly 50,000 pre-screened drivers, Roadie makes it possible for retailers to ramp up service in new markets almost instantly and to quickly scale up by adding employees, customers and other nearby drivers to the platform. The company has delivered to more than 4,000 cities nationwide — a similar footprint to Amazon Prime Now. Roadie is backed by Warren Stephens of Stephens Inc.; the UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund; Eric Schmidt’s TomorrowVentures; David Bonderman, founder of TPG Capital; Guggenheim Partners’ Executive Chairman Alan Schwartz; Square Co-founder Jim McKelvey; the Mellon Group; Tom Noonan, the former CEO of ISS and Joulex; and H. Barton Asset Management, among others. To learn more, visit roadie.com
