Autonomous middle-mile logistics startup Gatik has raised $200 million in a Series D funding round to accelerate the deployment of its driverless commercial freight fleet. The capital brings Gatik's total institutional funding to approximately $500 million since its founding in 2019.
The funding round was co-led by Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) and Koch Disruptive Technologies (KDT), with participation from Millennium Management, ARK Invest, and Intact Private Capital. Gatik did not disclose an updated company valuation.
Commercial Deployments and Financial Metrics
Gatik specializes in short-haul, B2B middle-mile logistics, moving goods between distribution hubs, fulfillment centers, and retail storefronts. The company reported more than $600 million in contracted commercial revenue and over 85,000 completed driverless revenue deliveries with a 99% on-time performance record.
The Series D follows an expanded multi-year commercial agreement finalized in June 2026 with PepsiCo. Under that contract, Gatik deployed driverless Class 6 medium-duty box trucks across high-frequency regional distribution routes in Texas, Arizona, and Arkansas. Gatik also operates dedicated routes for major retailers including Walmart in the United States and Loblaw Companies in Canada.
Autonomy Stack and Fleet Expansion
Gatik's autonomous platform, designated the Gatik Driver, combines multimodal sensor suites with deep learning perception and motion planning models running on Nvidia DRIVE compute hardware. The company integrates its autonomy hardware onto medium-duty truck platforms manufactured in partnership with Isuzu.
According to co-founder and CEO Gautam Narang, the Series D proceeds will support engineering and operations hiring across its 350-person organization. The company plans to scale its active driverless commercial fleet past 100 vehicles by the end of 2026 while expanding coverage from fixed 10-mile hub loops to dynamic regional networks spanning up to 400 miles per route.
