We recently closed an investment in our latest company, Routesmith, and I am happy to announce that I feel no trace of “investor remorse” that can briefly bloat your stomach after writing the check. You know that feeling that either you just overpaid for something or your new product isn’t at all as it was marketed to be? None of that here…

The Founders - This was an investment in the people. The founders, Matt and Jeff, are a couple of great guys who are sharp, likable, and fully capable to drive this business forward. I feel like they have that “eye of the tiger” if you know what I mean. They are hungry and scrappy and don’t mind punching raw meat until they hit the big time. I like that. And I like that they treat their customers right because they sincerely value their business. They have the heart.

The Business - A simple, straight-forward company, Routesmith is delivery, dispatch and route optimization software for small and medium-sized businesses. Let’s say you own an appliance store that makes local deliveries with a fleet of 10 to 20 trucks. Routesmith can automate and optimize your deliveries saving you time and money by essentially doing more with less. Plus with an ASP subscription model, you can come and go as you wish and are always assured the latest software version is available for use. Get a 14-day free demo of Routesmith Here. Or just for kicks you can always try out the free RouteMeNow Here.

This is my first SaaS company, but I like the space. I like the simplicity for customers. I like the distribution channels. I like the affordable pricing. I like the progress the company has made. I like the team. I even like the name, routesmith…say it out loud with me, and this time roll your “R” with a castilian accent…routesmith. Olé! Good luck guys! My money’s on you guys.
