HIVED is a London-based logistics startup founded in 2021 that builds an AI-powered, fully electric parcel delivery network tailored for e-commerce retailers.[1][2][4] It serves major brands like John Lewis, Nespresso, Uniqlo, and Zara, solving inefficiencies in urban parcel delivery—such as congestion, emissions, high costs, and poor on-time rates—through its proprietary platform HIVEDmind, which enables real-time tracking, dynamic clustering, and driver feedback for 99% on-time delivery across over 6.5 million parcels in Greater London.[1][2][5] With a team of 120+ (20% former drivers), HIVED has raised $42M in Series B funding in July 2025 (total funding ~$59M across rounds), fueling nationwide UK expansion, engineering hires, and platform enhancements amid booming e-commerce demand.[1][3]
HIVED was co-founded in 2021 by Murvah Iqbal (CEO) and Mathias Krieger, who rethought parcel delivery from first principles to address e-commerce challenges like slow, polluting logistics in dense cities.[2][4] Iqbal, emphasizing a fresh tech-centric approach, highlighted daily AI-driven driver feedback to boost performance.[5] Early traction came post-seed in 2021 and Series A in 2023, with rapid growth: 30% month-over-month revenue since launch, partnerships with global retailers, and scaling to 6.5M+ parcels at superior satisfaction rates.[1][6] Pivotal was proving scalability of its zero-emissions model, attracting investors like Planet A early for its execution in a stagnant industry.[6]
HIVED rides the e-commerce logistics boom and net-zero mandates, where online retail volumes strain urban infrastructure amid rising sustainability pressures—UK cities push low-emission zones while consumers favor green brands.[4][5][6] Timing aligns with AI advancements in supply chain optimization and EV infrastructure growth, positioning HIVED to disrupt a fragmented, inefficient sector dominated by legacy players.[2] Market forces like explosive parcel demand (post-pandemic) and investor interest in climate-tech (e.g., NordicNinja's sustainability focus) favor its model, influencing the ecosystem by proving scalable, AI-electric delivery attracts blue-chip retailers and sets benchmarks for returns/packaging efficiency.[1][6]
HIVED's $42M Series B positions it for aggressive UK rollout—starting southern cities soon, then nationwide—while advancing HIVEDmind's AI for even smarter networks.[1][5] Trends like AI logistics autonomy, stricter emissions rules, and e-commerce localization will accelerate growth, potentially expanding to Europe with Japanese investor ties (e.g., Yamato Holdings).[3][4] Its influence could evolve from London disruptor to national leader, redefining sustainable delivery as the e-commerce standard, building on proven momentum to capture market share in a $100B+ opportunity.
