GophrApp Joins Techstars Tulsa Accelerator to Transform Last-Mile Logistics with AI-Powered Delivery Platform
Startup aims to scale predictive pricing, smarter dispatch tools, and patented “Pic-to-Ship” technology
LAKE CHARLES, La., Sept. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gophr App, Inc. (https://gophrapp.com/), the AI-powered logistics platform redefining last-mile delivery, has been selected to join the prestigious Techstars Tulsa Accelerator (https://www.techstars.com/). The program provides funding, mentorship, and access to a global network of investors and industry leaders, giving GophrApp the resources to scale its groundbreaking delivery technology nationwide.
Founded in 2019, Gophr App, Inc. emerged out of frustration with outdated freight boards, ghosting brokers, and delivery apps that prioritized volume over service. The company has built a delivery solution that prioritizes visibility, accountability, and simplicity for businesses, retailers, and drivers. Today, GophrApp connects a North American DOT-certified driver network of more than 600,000 with businesses needing reliable, same-day deliveries—whether moving a single package across town or coordinating time-sensitive freight across North America, and everything else in between.
“Before Techstars, we had already proven that you could photograph what you want to ship and let AI handle the rest,” said Warren Vandever, https://www.linkedin.com/in/warren-vandever-b049a1168/ , Founder and CEO of Gophr App, Inc. “With Techstars behind us, we’re scaling predictive pricing, smarter dispatch tools, and enhanced driver features. We’re not here to play catch-up—we’re here to redefine what last-mile logistics can be.”
At the heart of Gophr App, Inc. is the customer dashboard. Users only need to enter the pickup and delivery addresses, describe the item, and press go. The patented “Pic-to-Ship” technology also allows users to simply snap a photo of the item they need delivered. The AI Assist instantly estimates size and weight, recommends the right vehicle, and generates a quote—all in seconds. The platform also provides real-time tracking, predictive pricing, and seamless integration from web to mobile app, eliminating the need for brokers, call centers, or terminals.
Gophr App, Inc.’s Chief Revenue Officer, David Soileau, https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtheguy/ emphasized the company’s momentum and customer adoption. “Our mission is simple: give businesses and drivers tools they trust. Every shipment completed is proof that reliability and transparency win in logistics,” said Soileau. “With Techstars’ support, we’re accelerating partnerships with enterprise customers, expanding our reach into new industries, and creating revenue pathways that match the scale of our technology.”
Since its launch, Gophr App, Inc. has weathered hurricanes, a global pandemic, and the inefficiencies of legacy logistics systems, emerging as a trusted partner across industries including energy, construction, manufacturing, and retail. The company has completed more than 8,000 shipments to date with $1M in pilot revenue and continues to grow as more businesses seek modern delivery solutions.
“We’re honored to join this year’s Techstars Tulsa cohort,” said Matt Sarradet, https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-sarradet-4ab089100/, COO of Gophr App, Inc. “This isn’t just an investment—it’s an opportunity to collaborate with some of the brightest founders tackling real-world problems. Being part of the Techstars community accelerates our mission to bring accountability and transparency back to logistics.”
