What FIRST does
We are building the Marketplace for On Demand Delivery. We provide an all-in-one Delivery OS that brings all orders into one place, dispatches these orders to the best available delivery service, and provides the tools to manage the post-purchase experience. The founding team started Habitat Logistics, where we powered delivery for restaurants, and delivered over 1M orders all on our own software.

Company
FIRST
The best way for any business to offer delivery.
We built an all-in-one Delivery OS that consolidates all orders into a single dashboard, dispatches them automatically to the best available delivery service, and provides tools to manage the post-purchase delivery experience. It replaces managing multiple delivery providers manually and improves efficiency for businesses of all sizes.
We're based in Philadelphia, PA, with a distributed remote team. After YC, we plan to remain primarily remote with headquarters rooted in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia is where we started Habitat Logistics and built our original delivery software. It's a good tech hub with a solid talent pool and less costly than typical coastal cities. We also want to retain the team we have remotely.
