Deliv Inc. was a Menlo Park-based crowdshipping, same-day delivery startup Deliv provided last mile transportation services. Deliv was founded in 2012 by Daphne Carmeli, who also served as CEO of the company, and offered same-day service to mall shoppers. Deliv raised $12.35 million in funding from the four largest mall operators in the U.S., as well as General Catalyst, Redpoint Ventures, Trinity Ventures, Operators Fund and PivotNorth. Deliv's drivers were required to undergo an extensive filtering process. In 2017, the company announced an expansion of its service to 33 markets and 1,400 cities, up from 19 markets previously. In May 2020, Deliv announced it was shutting down and Target Corporation announced plans to acquire Deliv's technology assets with Carmeli and a number of Deliv engineers joining the retailer. Target had previously acquired delivery companies Shipt and Grand Junction both in 2017.
