Key Takeaway

This strategic partnership and significant funding mean accelerated innovation in last-mile logistics for the e-commerce and food delivery sectors. It also means increased competitive pressure and technological advancement for traditional delivery services and automotive manufacturers focusing on urban mobility solutions.

ALSO secured $200 million in Series C financing, led by Greenoaks, with participation from Prysm Capital and a strategic investment from DoorDash, accelerating its mission to build small, purpose-built EVs for autonomous last-mile delivery in dynamic, population-dense environments.

This multi-year commercial collaboration focuses on deploying these specialized electric vehicles to optimize goods movement in challenging "in-between" spaces like bike lanes and curbsides, where traditional vehicles struggle. ALSO Co-Founder and President Chris Yu stated that small autonomous EVs are optimal for these environments.

DoorDash Co-Founder and Head of DoorDash Labs Stanley Tang confirmed their excitement to invest and partner, aiming to scale autonomous delivery. As part of the partnership, Stanley Tang joins ALSO as a Board Observer.

ALSO plans to scale production and expand globally, developing vehicles for both people and goods, operating both driven and autonomously, electrifying the future of mobility.
