We’re excited to share in TechCrunch some big steps we’ve taken to prove that last mile delivery can be done efficiently and environmentally.

We've grown 6x since raising our Series A and even better, we’ve saved 375,000 pounds of packaging waste.

We’re now profitable at the NRC level (Neighborhood Refillment Center, our hyper-local fulfillment centers) because our goal is to build a durable, 100-year company. The fact is that a sustainable business (financially and for the planet) is a good business.

If you haven’t checked out The Rounds in a while, we’re now working with local producers to refill more essentials like eggs, dairy, meat, and alcohol. It’s a win-win: neighborhood businesses get to compete online and our Members get the easiest and most sustainable access to the local businesses they love, like bakeries, coffee roasters, and now specialty butchers, cheesemongers, and wine shops too. 

Thanks to Sarah Perez for sharing about our progress and how we’re using AI to make sustainable e-commerce profitable:
