Rouvia receives 2.9 million euros

The investors are participating in the development of the Berlin-based startup's logistics platform.

Rouvia, a logistics start-up founded in Berlin in 2021, raises 2.9 million euros. Investors include Berlin-based venture capitalist Cavalry Ventures and logistics-focused investor Dynamo Ventures from the United States. Various business angels also say they are investing in Rouvia, including Flexport founder Philipp Ortwein and Instafreight founder duo Maximillian Schäfer and Markus Doetsch.

With its own platform, Rouvia aims to digitally connect roads, rails and inland waterways so that freight forwarders and logistics managers can take a more cost-efficient and sustainable approach to route planning. The algorithm calculates transport duration and costs, as well as costs due to empty kilometers and CO2 emissions. With the fresh capital, Rouvia now plans to further expand this platform.

"With Rouvia, we are developing the first digital freight solution that connects all means of transport and brings the benefits of sustainable transport to the fore," says CEO Benjamin Noyan. He said he is pleased with the notable investors. "In particular, the encouragement from proven logistics experts shows us that the industry is ready for the next transformation step."
