You might be asking yourself why in the world a young company would take on so much capital up front like that, but Zur responded that Veho is “a substantial platform, not a small operation at this point, and we want to maintain fast growth.”“We have an opportunity in the midst of the biggest e-commerce revolution, and after growing fast through the pandemic, that is not going away Zur doesn’t see Veho competing against the likes of Deliverr or some of those others, but does see the company competing with the national shipping companies. The biggest missed opportunities are connecting the dots between the pre-packaged experience and delivery to help brands build more loyalty and for people to stay with them longer, to buy more and buy more frequently.”Veho is not alone in trying to solve the last-mile problem, and is among companies around the world also raising capital for their approaches.
