Case Study: “Customer and Partner Introductions”
“Cambridge Capital has invested in multiple rounds at Bringg since 2016. When I joined the business as CEO in late 2018, I immediately knew that they were a different breed of investor – particularly by hosting their annual conference which brings together over 250 CEOs of supply chain companies – including both high-growth SaaS start-ups like Bringg and also 100+ year old incumbents. As they continued to invest more capital over time into Bringg, I have also been able to lean on them with respect to growing key customer relationships and help with getting in front of high potential prospective customers, given their very close relationships in the industry.”

Case Study: “Expanding in North America”
“Cambridge Capital is an experienced logistics technology investor globally, but has especially deep relationships in North America. As a Singapore-based company trying to open our first US office during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cambridge Capital has provided significant hands-on assistance – from helping to figure out our leadership, staffing and office location dynamics – to even setting us up with a well-known US law firm to file all of the paperwork. As we lean on Cambridge’s network to grow our presence in North America, we are grateful to have chosen them to lead our Series A financing.”

Case Study: “Building Infrastructure for the Growth-Stage”
“The founders of Liftit chose Cambridge Capital to lead our Series B financing because of their intimate familiarity with both technology companies and supply chain companies. While Liftit is definitely a high-growth technology company, we also deal with various issues that more traditional trucking and logistics companies face, such as needing to tightly manage working capital and ensure consistent infrastructure and reporting across our portfolio of five Latin American countries. I know I can lean on my Cambridge Board Members and the extended Cambridge team to do the heavy lifting necessary in order to establish the best foundation for Liftit to grow sustainability and achieve its maximum potential.”

Case Study: “Backing the Consolidator”
“As I planned my first platform acquisition in logistics, Express-1 (which became XPO), I wanted to partner with value-added investors who understood the supply chain sector, knew the ecosystem of key companies, and could help me think through a winning growth strategy. Cambridge Capital fit this profile perfectly, and made one of the first investments to back my original vision for XPO.”

Case Study: “Commercializing Technology”
“When I had the amazing opportunity to buy the technology back from an operating company I founded that was acquired by a strategic, I immediately approached Cambridge Capital about helping to re-launch the standalone technology business. Cambridge is known as one of the best networked investment firms in the supply chain industry, and invested in Grand Junction very early on. They got me in front of numerous potential customers and partners as we were launching our technology-only go-to-market, including Home Depot, who became an important customer until Target acquired the business in 2017 in a successful outcome for all.”
