Dynamo Ventures is a pre-seed and seed investor focused on the supply chain and the wider physical economy, operating from Chattanooga, Tennessee, a freight hub its founders helped build into a logistics startup community. The firm positions itself as a first check investor for founders working across manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, freight, trade and last mile delivery. Its current thesis holds that intelligence is moving into critical infrastructure, that technology is colliding with physics, and that manufacturing capacity is being rewired, creating openings for startups that change how goods are made, moved and sold. Dynamo grew out of an accelerator launched in 2016 by the founders of Access America Transport and Lamp Post Group together with Santosh Sankar, and evolved into a fund platform that has raised three vehicles, from an 18 million dollar Fund I in 2016 to a 54 million dollar Fund III closed in 2025. The firm backs founders globally and has invested in companies including Stord in omnichannel fulfillment, Gatik in autonomous middle mile delivery, Sennder in digital freight brokerage, Manna in drone delivery and Raft in AI powered freight forwarding. Its stated purpose is to back the relentless founders shaping the next era of industry.
