Our take
Shift is an on-demand delivery platform for consumers and businesses. They use algorithms that filter through the pre-existing routes of registered independent drivers, allocating the task of delivery to best-suited drivers based on their location.
They are currently operating within the UK with over 10,000 drivers and have served over 220,000 customers so far. Shift expects a 300% growth in active customers each year. The company have a pipeline of acquisitions and plan to grow organically and via a spree of M&As. Shift have so far acquired Techlogico, Courier Direct and JLF.
Shift has secured partnerships with a number of major retailers, including Ikea, Homebase & The British Heart Foundation, to provide customers with personalised delivery solutions.

The use of 'squads and functions' rather than the more traditional 'departments' creates a flatter hierarchy where everyone in the room is an expert in their particular area. Everyone is free to contribute ideas across the business and people are highly receptive, regardless of who an idea comes from.

Shift is full of incredibly talented and smart people, many of whom bring vast experience from highly successful startups. I view their presence in the business is a huge endorsement of the potential Shift has.

Shift puts data at the heart of all decision making. I've been impressed with the level of data literacy across the business and I see this as a real asset.
