($14M in Series A Funding)

Zeelo, a platform providing smart bus services for employers and schools, has secured $14 million in a Series A extension round on August 15.

The Series A extension round was spearheaded by FLATZ HOFFMANN, joined by IREON Ventures and an undisclosed Boston-based Family Office.

The company is accelerating its U.S. operations, focusing on both the East and West coasts, and enhancing its tech platform. Co-Founders Sam Ryan and Barney Williams have fully relocated to the U.S. and have secured contracts with #Fidelity and other large enterprise clients.

Why we like it: Zeelo is capitalizing on the lack of public transport options and the rising fuel costs in the U.S., targeting sectors like manufacturing and distribution. The company is well-positioned to offer a sustainable mobility solution that’s gaining traction in both the U.S. and Europe.
