One day, Shashwat Murarka sat in his apartment in college, thinking about his relationship with food tradition. Sometimes, the order never arrived, and he had to wander the building of his apartments, looking for the ugly food. Other times, he found himself step -by -step the instructions in confusion, which, seemed, were just as annoyed as he.
“What started as frustration was turned into a mission to correct one of the most overwhelming problems in the supply chain, the final extent of the last mile,” he told TechCrunch. He began to study the delivery supply chain, ran himself and decided during his highest year in college to go all the way to the problem.
He worked with his friend Sheel Patel and started Door to help track delivery. Murarka, who is Managing Director, said the Standard GPS is working outdoors, but fails in buildings that create a blind spot for producers.
The threshold is incorporated into existing delivery applications and then, using phone sensors, watching when a driver entered a building, climbed a lift and reached the desired threshold.
This is provided on the delivery platform in which the driver operates, such as Uber Eats or Doordash, and can then be used to automate dispute resolution and proper validation of deliveries, essentially ending the drama behind the missing photos and will be blurred. Murarka said the company does not collect driver or user information and that it maintains “the same platforms of privacy and security standards have already been implemented”.
“Technology gives us customer support groups their missing visibility, providing real -time, verifiable data on what is really going on in buildings to resolve returns automatically,” Murka said. “Solving this blind spot unlocks huge value for platforms, drivers, traders and customers.”
On Thursday, the company announced a round of $ 8 million led by Canaan’s partners. Murarka described the concentration of funds as “relentless”, and said he was really sleeping in Antler Accelerator’s office when he first moved to New York.

“Every step was to finance the first believer,” he continued. “People who don’t just want to watch the trip but want to be part of it and stay along the way.”
He said that the doorstep put this round in about a week and that he met with their leader in Canaan through network connections. Others in this round include Antler, Cercano Management, Cassius and Sean Henry, a scout in Kleiner Perkins. Murka said that fresh capital will be used to move pilot to complete production. He also tries to hire mechanics and product.
Murarka believes that the company’s competitors are other material -based solutions, such as standard building sensors, cabinets and cameras. “The material is expensive and slow on a scale, while GPS just doesn’t work indoors,” he said. The company is already active in all US states, although it refused to share the names of the customers.
Murarka hopes his company can end the pain associated with the missing food.
“For me, this is not just about stopping fraud or returns. It is about rebuilding confidence between platforms and customers and between drivers and the work they do,” he said. “Drivers are the backbone of tradition platforms and having experienced these challenges ourselves. We hope to facilitate their work through the threshold.”
