Destro AI Emerges From Stealth With $8 Million to Streamline Logistics
· Technology · TechCrunch
Logistics startup Destro has emerged from stealth with an $8 million seed round, focusing on an AI intelligence layer that coordinates both robots and human workers. Founded by NYU Tandon robotics graduate Manthan Pawar, the company targets supply chain inefficiencies rather than developing new hardware form factors. Destro collaborated with Richard Brunelle, director of automation for the American logistics group at Yusen Logistics, to adapt its software for cross-dock environment operations. The startup initiated a pilot program at a Yusen facility in the Pacific Northwest using three cart-moving robots from Miva Robotics. Destro is currently on path to be cash flow positive by the end of this year.
Why it matters
The company provides logistics operators with software that bridges the gap between fixed automation and human workflows, potentially reducing inefficiencies in complex warehouse environments.
