Shipment tracking is incredibly complicated, unreliable and expensive. Tive is 
changing that by providing real-time visibility into the entire shipment 
process, including hyper-accurate location data and condition insights such as 
temperature, shock, light exposure and humidity. Tive's release of the 
industry's first 5G-ready single-use tracker was met with intense market 
interest and approval.  Customer adoption is on the rise with aggressive growth 
in new customers and 570% growth in annual revenue, driven in part by the 
delivery of the first Non-Lithium powered tracker to address the market's 
concerns over Lithium-Ion safety and environmental impact. 

"The $20 trillion shipping industry is starting to expect more," said Raju 
Rishi, General Partner at RRE Ventures. "They are rapidly adopting Tive to gain 
real-time insights on their shipments, giving them a level of visibility not 
yet seen before in the industry as well as a new window of opportunity to 
actually intervene if shipments are being improperly handled. Over the four 
years we've known Krenar, we've seen Tive's full-stack tracking solution be 
aggressively pulled into the market by a diverse customer base and we're proud 
to be backing him and his team as they build a category-defining company in 
supply chain tracking."

"Given the growing demand for Tive's full line of tracking solutions, it was 
obvious that now was the time to dramatically expand our ability to meet 
industry demand," said Krenar Komoni, CEO at Tive, Inc. "Gaining the support of 
RRE Ventures and Two Sigma Ventures, as well as our current valued investors, 
means we can leverage their expertise and focus on growing our customer-centric 
platform. The infusion of growth capital means bringing products to market 
faster, enhancing our sales and marketing efforts, adding key leadership, and 
growing our international presence."
