    Full Analysis

    Pandion tried to build a last-mile delivery network for e-commerce, positioning itself as an alternative to UPS and FedEx. But logistics infrastructure requires massive capital for vehicles, warehouses, and technology. Amazon's own delivery network expansion further squeezed the market. Pandion burned through $125M and shut down in 2025.
