Shipday
Shipday is a cloud-based, AI-powered delivery management platform that lets small and medium-sized businesses - restaurants, grocers, pizzerias, florists, couriers and e-commerce sellers - run their own local deliveries without paying gig-economy commissions. It combines dispatch automation, route optimization, a driver mobile app, real-time branded tracking, proof of delivery and AI agents for customer communication, and connects to third-party fleets like DoorDash and Uber for overflow. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Shipday serves more than 6,000 businesses across 100+ countries and has powered over 30 million deliveries.
Jingle
Jingle is a Menlo Park marketplace that flips food and services delivery on its head. Instead of the usual model where a courier is dispatched to fetch your order, Jingle runs a 'push' model: mobile stores - shops on wheels - stocked with ice cream, pastries, and services like grooming or knife sharpening drive through neighborhoods and ping nearby users through the app when they roll by. Think ice cream truck, but with software, a map, and a flat $2.99 delivery fee. Founded in 2022 by former venture capitalist Baris Karadogan, the company raised a $2.9M seed round led by Bessemer Venture Partners to help local and artisanal vendors go mobile, reach customers directly, and skip the fees and wait times of conventional delivery apps.
