Deliv, a Palo Alto, California-based provider of a same-day delivery service, closed a $1m funding round.
Backers included General Catalyst, Redpoint Ventures, Trinity Ventures, Operators Fund, and PivotNorth.
Led by Daphne Carmeli, founder and CEO, Deliv partners with national multichannel retailers to provide a same-day delivery service via a fleet of crowdsourced drivers.
It features a “same-day delivery” button, which is now a “native” part of the online or mobile checkout screen like selecting shipping options today from carriers such as FedEx and UPS with no need for shoppers to go to third party sites or apps to purchase products and arrange delivery.
Following the completion of its service trials in the San Francisco Bay Area, the company is now set to roll out in multiple metropolitan locations across the U.S. including the San Francisco Bay Area, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington D.C.
