Consumers aren’t the only fans of the shared economy—investors are also giving the revolutionary, cost-effective way of delivering goods and services a vote of confidence. An increasing amount of venture capital is infusing a steady stream of seed money to a dizzying array of startups. On the Move Systems has taken note and says investors’ confidence shows the business model is valid and worthy of pursuit.
Venture capitalists put more than $3.7 billion into shared economy companies in the first quarter of 2015 (the latest quarter for which figures are available), a breathtaking three-month pace that nearly matches the $4.1 billion invested in all of 2014.
“Venture capitalists are going ‘all in’ to catch the shared economy wave as it peaks,” said OMVS CEO Robert Wilson. “That is, if there is a peak. There may be no limit to the shared economy’s growth potential. OMVS has great appeal for investors. Our trucking platform promises to forever alter the way logistics companies network and operate. Our on-demand courier service gives companies and consumers the ability to harness the shared economy to reduce delivery times to near zero. It’s a winning combination.”
OMVS is wrapping up a successful 2015 that saw it sign a key letter of intent for the design of the “Uber-for-Trucking” platform and take the first steps towards development of an on-demand courier service.
The innovative sharing economy trucking platform will allow OMVS to compete alongside Con-way Freight (CNW), SAIA Inc. (SAIA) and Old Dominion Freight Lines (ODFL).
