History[edit]

Serve Robotics was founded in early 2021 as a spin-off from Uber.[2] The company was named after the robot Serve which was developed by Uber-owned Postmates.[3]

In December 2021, Serve Robotics raised US$13 million in an extended seed round. Soon after, in March 2022, an investment of US$10 million by Nvidia was also announced.[4][5]

In May 2022, Uber Eats began a pilot with Serve Robotics for autonomous food delivery in Los Angeles using its delivery platform.[6]

In January 2023, Serve Robotics began a partnership with 7-Eleven for deliveries using the 7-Eleven delivery app 7Now.[7]

In August 2023, Serve Robotics went public via a reverse merger.[8]

In April 2024, Serve Robotics was up-listed to Nasdaq with the ticker symbol SERV.[9]
