Private equity firm Copilot Capital has made a majority investment in the fast-growing logistics platform Zendr to provide SMEs with more reliable freight solutions.
The partnership will allow Zendr to expand across the Nordics and Europe, while continuing to invest in its technology platform, international growth, and targeted M&A activity.
Zendr attracted strong interest from more than 20 European funds during its investment process but ultimately chose Copilot Capital.
Johan Sund, co-founder of Zendr said: “From the start, we’ve been obsessed with making shipping simpler for companies that don’t have big logistics teams with customs experts or procurement specialists. By combining technology with deep freight expertise and dedicated customer service, we believe we can make the world of shipping significantly better for SMEs.
“With Copilot Capital, we’ve found not just capital, but a partner who understands our vision and can help us scale into new markets. This investment will allow us to expand into the Nordics and Europe, strengthen our platform, and continue growing through targeted acquisitions.”
Founded in 2020 by cousins Sund and Mathias Rebane, Zendr has rapidly grown from just two employees to more than 50.
With over 2,000 customers, the company combines a user-friendly logistics platform with pre-negotiated carrier agreements and expert customer service.
Its approach aims to help SMEs reduce costs and save up to 75% of the time normally spent on managing shipments.
Zendr completed its first acquisition in early 2025, purchasing GOT Solutions. It marked the first step in a broader roll-up strategy, adding shipment volumes that enable even more competitive freight rates.
The company now plans to build on this momentum with Copilot Capital’s investment.
John Messer, founder and managing partner at Copilot Capital said: “Zendr has built an exceptional business, solving a real pain point for SMEs that lack the logistics expertise and resources of larger enterprises.
“We will work closely with the team to scale operations, expand into new markets, and deepen customer relationships.”
