Since 2015, AxleHire has worked to eliminate the difficult choice brands have always had to make—ship it slow at an affordable cost or ship it fast and ask customers to pay a premium. AxleHire offers an Amazon-like delivery experience to all brands, regardless of where or how they sell their products. With AxleHire, eCommerce sellers can have next- and same-day delivery speed in major metros across the United States at close-to-ground rates. AxleHire has disrupted and transformed the industry by providing a tech platform built from the ground up with a focus on providing the most efficient and sustainable deliveries possible while giving clients and their end customers a superior delivery experience. In doing so, AxleHire enables clients to personalize the delivery experience with branded tracking and custom messaging. Our technology and asset-light model uniquely allow us to easily scale for surge capacity or onboarding new business in a fraction of the time it takes with legacy carriers. We believe that efficient last-mile logistics is a key component of future brand growth and supporting a more sustainable world. Our entire team, from our senior management to our gig drivers, is committed to doing whatever is necessary to get the right package to the right doorstep at the right time, every time. Our vision is to reinvent last-mile delivery, leveraging technology to build a better and more sustainable delivery experience for consumers, drivers, and eCommerce sellers.

At Bee Partners, we passionately believe today’s decades-long supercycle of AI-enabled machines will transform our world via software, hardware, and biology. Innovation favors adaptive, technical, and bold founders, aligning perfectly with our investment ethos. The inception-stage remains the best for producing exceptional returns, especially through close collaboration with founders to drive profound change. Here is what we are looking for. Bee Partners invests at inception in deepTech startups, deploying $500k - $1.5M per company. Our commitment goes beyond capital; we build genuine partnerships founded on integrity and trust, facilitating strategic introductions to customers, advisors, employees, and capital sources. We underwrite every investment to return the fund, with a Partnership Model that centers around collaboration as the highest form of value addition. Our strategy is grounded in team expertise, extensive research, and comprehensive support from our advisory network. We have established engines of innovation that drive deal flow, from universities such as UC Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and Georgia Tech, alongside angel networks and our Founders network. Our track record over the past 15 years demonstrates our commitment to deep tech investing long before it was widely recognized as a bastion of venture return generation. Our model has resulted in a 60% matriculation rate to Series A, with over $2B in follow-on capital raised from the worlds leading VCs. With $150 million under management, we are currently investing out of our fourth flagship fund.
