  • Filld

    Led · Series B · Oct 2018

    Filld operates a last-mile mobile fueling platform that delivers fuel directly to consumers’ and fleets’ vehicles. The company offers consumer service in the Bay Area and Washington, D.C., and commercial/fleet service in the Bay Area, Seattle, Portland and Vancouver, Canada. Filld’s commercial drivers use safety-compliant trucks and have delivered millions of gallons without a single major safety incident. The platform and equipment are designed to transition to alternative fuels and electric vehicles as market demand shifts. The company plans to use new capital to expand into new markets, extend services in existing markets, enhance its tech platform and connected architecture, and ramp hiring across North America. Filld operates a mobile fueling service that lets customers request gas delivery via a mobile app, share a vehicle’s location, and schedule a time for a licensed driver to fill the tank. Professionally trained, licensed drivers arrive in certified, specially‑modified small trucks so customers do not need to be present. The company serves individual, commercial and enterprise customers and already works with partners including Bentley Motors, Volvo, Daimler car2go and Enterprise Rent‑A‑Car. Led by CEO Michael Buhr and based in Mountain View, CA, Filld intends to use the new funding to scale current operations for expansion and to continue accelerating and signing new strategic partnerships. Financially, Filld raised $9.65M in this Series A and has raised more than $16M in total funding to date. Filld raised $3.25M in seed funding to expand its operations. The company provides scheduled and on-demand refueling services delivered directly to vehicles through its smartphone application. Users download the app, register, and order fuel to be brought to their car. Filld fulfills orders using a fleet of certified delivery vehicles. The funds will be used to grow the fleet, improve the mobile app, and expand into new territories. Filld was founded in January 2015 by Christopher Aubuchon and came out of stealth in late April; it is based in Mountain View, CA.
