## About

Based in California, US, and founded in 2013 by Jack Smith, Joshua Scott, and Kevin Gibbon, Shyp, Inc. is a developer of an on-demand delivery platform intended to pick and deliver products. The company's delivery platform offers a mobile application through which pictures can be snapped and uploaded along with choosing the packaging, shipping insurance schemes, and pickup schedules. In April 2015, the company received a series B funding led by Kleiner Perkins. 

The company has aligned itself with all the shipping carriers. Users will take a photo of the item they wish to ship, and the company does the rest — it picks the item up, packs it, and determines the lowest-cost, highest-quality carrier to send it with. 

Shyp has done more than 15,000 shipments and grown its user base 20-fold in just a few short months.

The company is planning a market expansion and has a landing page up so that users can sign up to be alerted when the service is live. Shyp is also hoping to use the series funding to invest in its product, bringing it to new platforms and improving the experience for different types of users.
