Starting in the tech incubator of Innovation Depot, Fleet officially left the nest in 2017—and boy did they fly! They are officially one of Birmingham’s fastest-growing companies. 

“I’m very excited about the raise… for what it means for Fleetio and also Birmingham. We plan to keep growing fast and doing more of what has gotten us this far.”

Tony Summerville, CEO, Fleetio

Who are the investors?

The answer to this is being held on the DL. While Summerville has yet to release the exact investors, he has revealed that some are local and include certain individuals involved in previous funding rounds in 2016, along with brand new individuals.
