Convoy
The business, the turning points, and the decisions behind them.
01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
Convoy used a digital freight network to match shippers with trucking carriers.
02 / Convoy FAILURE REASONS
Failure reasons
CEO Dan Lewis said the freight downturn reduced business while tighter capital markets limited funding for unprofitable late-stage companies. Cost cuts were insufficient, and months of financing or sale efforts did not secure a viable continuation. His disclosed explanation does not establish financial misconduct.
