Deliv is a Menlo Park-based crowdsourced, crowdshipping, same-day delivery startup.[1] Deliv provides last mile transportation services.[2] Deliv offers same-day service to mall shoppers.[3][4] The startup was founded in 2012 by Daphne Carmeli, who also serves as CEO of the company.

Deliv has raised $12.35 million in funding from the four largest mall operators in the U.S.,[5] as well as General Catalyst, Redpoint Ventures, Trinity Ventures, Operators Fund and PivotNorth[6][7]

Crowdsourced drivers must undergo an extensive filtering process.[8][9][10]

In 2017, the company announced an expansion of its service to 33 markets and 1,400 cities, up from 19 markets previously.[11]

In May 2020, Target announced plans to acquire Deliv's technology assets.[12]
