Dispatch Goods allows companies with recurring deliveries (like subscriptions or grocery) to implement reusable packaging at no additional cost.
Founder Lindsey Hoell spent the first decade of her career working in a cardiac OR, then moved to Hawaii (where she created her first business — a swimwear line for surfers).
There, she became obsessed with the circular economy. She moved to UC Berkeley for an MBA, with the vision of building circular logistics infrastructure, similar to the "milkman model". She dropped out after launching Dispatch Goods.
They initially focused on restaurants during the pandemic, then pivoted after hearing consistent customer complaints about accumulating freezer packs from meal/grocery deliveries.
The company has now reused nearly 8 million items and operates in the Bay Area, Baltimore (serving Mid-Atlantic from NY to DC), and LA.
