The story

Founded in 2021, Nash began as a delivery aggregation and orchestration layer for merchants needing same-day delivery across multiple carriers. After a $20M Series A in 2022 led by Andreessen Horowitz, the company expanded internationally and deepened its platform capabilities. Nash's embedded finance footprint is minimal — it uses Stripe as a third-party payment processor for billing and Gusto for HR/payroll, reflecting a SaaS-first model rather than a fintech pivot. AI services via OpenAI were added to the subprocessor list in 2026, signaling a move toward AI-assisted delivery orchestration.
