\u201cThe world needs what we do, and our financial performance supported that premise,\u201d he says. \u201cOnce Scale Ventures leaned in, the round came together quickly and we closed in six weeks from term sheet to wires.\u201d<\/p>\n

Partners certainly help. The firm has signed up some global giants as clients, including logistics heavyweights FedEx and DHL. Today\u2019s announcement also finds them adding e-commerce firm Pitney Bowes (best known by many for their mailing equipment) to that list.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership with an automation leader, like Plus One, reinforces our goals to drive profitability and sustainability of our physical operations,\u201d Pitney Bowes SVP Stephanie Cannon says in a release. \u201cThe continued increase in demand we\u2019ve seen in the ecommerce space makes modernizing the way we approach ecommerce logistics imperative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nieves won\u2019t disclose how many units the Pitney Bowes deal includes, only noting, \u201cwe have over 130 robots deployed globally using our vision systems, plus many other licenses of our software being used independent of robot arms.\u201d For its part, Plus One remains a lean team, seven years after its founding.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are currently at 83 full-time employees, the bulk of which are based at our headquarters in Texas,\u201d Nieves says. \u201cWe also have facilities in Boulder and Pittsburgh, along with a subsidiary in the Netherlands (given the global reach of our users, we have a lot of systems deployed in Europe).\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
