Convoy raised $260 million, then shut down ten months later
Original: У грудні 2022 року Convoy підняв 260 мільйонів доларів за оцінкою 3,8 мільярда. Десять місяців по тому компанія закрила
US freight startup Convoy raised $260 million in December 2022 at a $3.8 billion valuation, yet closed its core business just ten months later, in October 2023. Over six years it collected more than a billion dollars from investors, including funds linked to major backers, before disappearing despite the huge war chest.
Why now: The dramatic collapse of a heavily funded unicorn so soon after a major funding round makes it a cautionary tale in current discussions of startup failures.
