Abstract
This research from the Global Distributors Collective (GDC) 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. This research builds on data from the GDC's online LMD funding database, in-depth interviews with 25 funders investing directly in LMDs, and the GDC's 2021 member survey.
Description
Drawing on interviews with 25 funders investing in last mile distributors (LMDs), this research was undertaken by the Global Distributors Collective to assess the state of the funding landscape for LMDs and to identify gaps that need plugging. It builds on previous GDC research: Growth and fundraising journeys of LMDs (June 2021).
