Swift is an Australian logistics platform that offers delivery management software for businesses. Its software lets customers organise deliveries, automate task assignments, and track goods in real time. The startup closed a $US675,000 angel round led by BlackSheep Capital and BlueChilli Venture Fund to accelerate product development in the Asia-Pacific region. Swift plans to continue its expansion in the US after its CEO relocated to New York to chase and close a massive deal there. Investors cited CEO and co-founder Joel Macdonald’s proactive approach as a key reason for backing the company. The funding will support product development and the company's push into APAC and US markets.
