Roadie (app)

Roadie is an Atlanta-based crowdsourced, same-day delivery service.[1] Considered the nation's first "on-the-way" delivery service, Roadie's model utilizes unused capacity in passenger vehicles already on the road to make regional and last-mile deliveries.[2] The company has over 120,000 drivers and has made deliveries to more than 11,000 cities and towns nationwide,[3] for the largest local same-day footprint in the nation. Roadie was founded in 2014 by Marc Gorlin, who currently serves as the CEO.

Roadie has raised $25 million in funding from Stephens Inc., the UPS Strategic Enterprise Fund, and TomorrowVentures.[4][5]

On February 6, 2020, Roadie was named to the Technology Association of Georgia Top 40 Innovative Technology Companies in Georgia.[6]
