At a glance

Kanguro is a technology startup transforming last-mile logistics by creating a network of convenience points that offers its clients the couriers who deliver e-commerce packages to the end customer. These convenience points have been selected based on their location and size, and contracts with them are managed by artificial intelligence agents via telephone, allowing the network of points to rapidly scale to any European country. Its model enables more efficient, sustainable, and flexible deliveries, reducing operating costs and improving the end-user experience.

Founded in 2021 in Barcelona by Xavi Valverde, César Valencia and Iván Lorca, Kanguro has built a network of over 5,000 out-of-home (OOH) convenience points across Spain, redirecting up to 45% of deliveries to convenience points — well above the 3% industry average. Its technology has helped reduce operating costs by 35% and increase customer satisfaction by 40%.

In 2024, Kanguro raised a €2 million funding round with the participation of Suma Capital, Sego Finance and Ona Capital Private. The investment will support its international expansion in Portugal, France and Germany, as well as the continued development of its AI-driven logistics platform.

Impact

Kanguro contributes significantly to more sustainable last-mile logistics by:

  • Reducing CO₂ emissions through delivery consolidation and route optimization
  • Decreasing urban congestion and traffic linked to home deliveries
  • Improving logistics efficiency without requiring structural changes for carriers

Its model promotes a smarter and more sustainable approach to e-commerce logistics.
