Congrats to @jessebucks, @thacarta2 and the entire Vooma team on their Seed and Series A raise! Excited to participate in both rounds and continue supporting such an exceptional team.

[Jesse Buckingham @jessebucks]

It’s a big day for Vooma.

We’re thrilled to announce that Vooma has secured $16.6M in Seed and Series A funding from @craft_ventures , @IndexVentures , and other leaders in the logistics industry.

@thacarta2 and I started Vooma to empower the women and men who keep America’s economy running. We want to give them the best AI tools to win and execute more freight.

Everyday logistics operators are bogged down by hundreds of repetitive tasks that distract them away from building relationships and solving complex problems.

We believe we can change that.

So today we’re also announcing Vooma Agents – a first of it's kind multi-channel AI platform built for logistics. It’s the foundation for building autonomous agents with freight expertise that can execute complex workflows across email, voice and text. We’re also introducing Vooma Voice, which gives Vooma Agents the ability to make and receive calls - critical to many freight workflows.

We’re grateful to our customers, partners, Voomers and investors for believing in our vision, especially @HOFCapital, @Definition_Cap, @OperatorStackVC, @Soma_Capital and @ycombinator who participated in the round.

We’re just getting started. Let’s Vooma! 🚀

Shoutout to Grace Sharkey and @FreightWaves for covering the news.

[The Good Drone Company @TheGoodDroneCo]

The wait is finally over! After years in stealth, we're thrilled to finally unveil what we've been up to.

We're not about delivering your burritos faster, but improving global standards of living with Affordable Aerial Delivery.
