GoKawiilDestro emerges from stealth with $8M seed for warehouse AI coordination layer
Destro, a logistics-robotics startup founded by Manthan Pawar, announced an $8 million seed round and came out of stealth. Rather than building robots, Destro has developed an AI software layer that coordinates tasks between robots and human workers in warehouse and logistics settings. Yusen Logistics automation director Richard Brunelle, who advised the company, said the approach addresses cross-docking and sorting challenges his facilities face.
