Series A in 2018
Dostavista is a global crowdsourced same-day delivery service. It was founded in 2012, in Moscow, Russia by a serial entrepreneur Mike Aleksandrovskiy. Having raised a little over $5m, today the service operates in 11 countries across the globe, including India (http://www.wefast.in), Korea (https://quickers.co.kr/), Brazil (https://www.clickentregas.com/) , Mexico https://dostavista.mx/), Indonesia (https://mrspeedy.co/), Turkey (https://hemengetir.com.tr/), Vietnam (https://mrspeedy.vn/), Thailand (https://mrspeedy.in.th/), Philippines (https://mrspeedy.ph/), Malaysia (https://mrspeedy.my/) Dostavista takes the pain away from the usually tedious or chaotic delivery routine, making it possible to deliver a package within hours of purchase. For each country it offers a special formula that consists of various delivery types, payment options and tariffs. The most ubiquitous set of options includes delivery by foot, bike and car. Vans and large trucks are available in some countries as well. Common for all markets is the convenience of hassle free ordering from desktop, mobile or via api, as well as real time order monitoring. Dostavista uses “Uber-like” model: in order to start working, prospective couriers need to install the app and create an account. After verification and attestation, they can start delivering parcels around the city. Couriers can choose to work just a few hours a day on the way to university, or they can work full time and have orders assigned to them automatically by company’s smart robot. Dostavista develops proprietary algorithms that evaluate several dozen features in real-time and pick the best courier for the job. Special attention is paid to the quality of service and theft prevention. Delivery is verified by scanning of QR code, recipient signature and photo of the parcel. Smart contracts manage the release of payments and fees. Orders can also be insured. Over 200k shops use Dostavista worldwide, including big chains such as Krispy Kreme(in Russia and Turkey) and Euroset - Russia's largest electronic retail chain. Scale and experience from numerous markets with different mentalities help Dostavista achieve its goal of making delivery invisible.
