Deliv is a Palo Alto-based crowdsourced same-day delivery startup. Deliv partners directly with large multichannel retailers and prices same-day delivery the same or lower than standard delivery. Deliv was founded in 2012 by Daphne Carmeli who also serves as CEO of the company. Deliv received $1 million in funding from General Catalyst, RedPoint Ventures, Trinity Ventures, Operators Fund and PivotNorth. Deliv has successfully completed their trials in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chicago and is set to roll out nationally in metropolitan locations including Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Indianapolis, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Seattle and Washington, D.C.

Service:
In partnering directly with retailers, Deliv allows the retailer to retain the direct relationship with the consumer. The Deliv “same-day delivery” button becomes a native part of the online or mobile checkout experience much like other carriers such as FedEx and UPS.

Deliv utilizes a team of crowdsourced drivers who undergo an extensive filtering process. When drivers begin making deliveries, they are rated by consumers and Deliv’s operations team so the platform is able to prioritize the allocation of jobs to those with the highest ratings. With the Deliv app, consumers are able to see their delivery on a map real time.

Deliv ensures consumers will get their deliveries in as fast as one hour regardless of where they’re located (whether it’s a consumer’s home or office).
