Last Mile Distribution Capital Continuum: trends, gaps and opportunities

This research from the Global Distributors Collective maps 50 funders actively investing in last mile distributors (LMDs) across different stages of company growth: pre-seed, seed, early growth and accelerated growth. It will enable LMDs to navigate the funder landscape; encourage collaboration among funders; and help us to identify gaps in funding that need plugging. The research builds on our LMD funding database, in-depth interviews with 25 funders investing directly in LMDs, and our 2021 GDC member survey.
