Dynamo Ventures Invests in Trucking and Logistics Startups
At Dynamo Ventures, we partner with founders who are transforming the way freight moves. We invest early — at pre-seed and seed — in startups rethinking trucking, logistics, and the systems that power global transportation. Our capital comes with deep sector expertise, operational support, and a long-term commitment to helping you win.
Trucking remains the backbone of the global supply chain — but it’s a system under strain. Aging infrastructure, fragmented networks, driver shortages, and inefficient routing continue to cost the industry billions. At the same time, emerging technologies are unlocking new ways to manage, automate, and optimize freight. That’s where we invest.
We’re not just writing checks — we’re partnering with the builders bold enough to take on the hardest problems in freight.
Focused Capital for Freight and Logistics Innovation
We believe the most important freight innovations will be built at the intersection of software, hardware, and operations. Our portfolio spans the full logistics stack — from asset-light marketplaces to fleet automation tools, from routing optimization engines to embedded insurance for carriers.
We invest in early-stage logistics startups across categories such as:
- Digital Freight Matching – Platforms that bring efficiency, transparency, and liquidity to trucking markets.
- Fleet Management Software – Tools helping carriers manage assets, drivers, compliance, and costs.
- Autonomous & Assisted Driving – Technologies increasing safety, efficiency, and uptime for long-haul fleets.
- Logistics Finance & Insurance – Embedded fintech solutions tailored to the freight economy.
- Middle & Final Mile Optimization – Systems rethinking how goods move from port to warehouse to customer.
We’re industry-first investors. That means we understand how freight actually works — and what it takes to sell into asset-heavy, time-sensitive environments.
Why Freight Tech Founders Choose Dynamo
We know how hard it is to build in this space. Whether you're trying to win over an old-school dispatcher or integrate with legacy TMS systems, we’ve seen the challenges — and helped founders navigate them. Here’s what we bring:
- Trucking & Logistics Expertise: We’ve spent time with carriers, brokers, shippers, and 3PLs. We speak the language and know the workflows.
- Hands-On Support: We help with customer intros, hiring early team members, thinking through regulatory strategy, and more.
- Long-Term Perspective: We invest early, but we’re built for the long haul. Many of our companies go on to raise from top-tier later-stage investors — we help make that happen.
- Network Effects: We connect you to the freight ecosystem — from strategic buyers and partners to specialized logistics talent.
Founders Rebuilding Freight From the Inside Out
Trucking is a complex and regulated industry that runs on relationships, reliability, and razor-thin margins. Building here takes grit and insight. But it also offers massive upside. Freight is a trillion-dollar category — and software is just beginning to transform it.
We’re looking for founders who are solving real operational pain points with new tools, new models, and a deep understanding of how freight flows. If you’re building for carriers, shippers, brokers, or the infrastructure in between, we want to hear from you.
