Strategic Rationale
Immediate Revenue: Adds $2.5-$3.5M run rate. Liftit's avg route revenue ($3,500) exceeds PartRunner's ($2,500). Long-haul routes at ~$30K each.
Liftit Express Entity: "Paqueteria" license essential for regulated clients like Liverpool (~$0.6M annual revenue) and Palacio de Hierro. Cannot be obtained organically.
Driver Network: 300 active + 5,000 inactive drivers. 10-15% operational efficiency improvement expected from density.
Sales Pipeline: 3-4 active deals + 500+ historical unclosed leads. Key intros: Grupo Trayecto (trucking), credit line partners, Series A support.
Risks: No applicable technology to acquire. Customer base declining rapidly. $800K in debt. 25 employees as potential liability. Contingent on PartRunner completing Series A.
Risk Assessment
Key Risks & Concerns
Source: US Financials, Balance Sheets, Conv. Notes
▲ HIGH
Negative Equity & Heavy Debt: Total equity is -$2.49M (Dec 2023). Conv. notes + CEMEX = ~$3.27M in debt. Balance sheet is severely underwater. New funding is critical for survival.
▲ HIGH
Thin Gross Margins: Driver pay consumes 82-84% of revenue. US gross margin improved from 4.4% (2022) to 17.1% (2023) but remains thin for a marketplace business. Minimum guarantees and incentives are structural costs.
▲ HIGH
Revenue Deceleration Risk: 2024 Jan-Feb annualized US revenue (~$2.16M) is below 2023's $3.17M pace, suggesting potential deceleration or seasonality.
MEDIUM
Mexico Cash Drain: MX operations consumed $1.33M in financing through 2023 with MXN 7.24M in cumulative losses. Expansion increases capital requirements.
MEDIUM
Liftit Integration Risk: Target is in financial distress. Customer base halved, driver payments delayed 45 days. Acquisition contingent on PartRunner raising Series A.
MEDIUM
Conv. Note #1 Maturity: First note matured ~Dec 2025. Status unclear — may need extension or conversion event.
LOW
Limited Cash: $262K (Dec 2023), $207K (Feb 2024). Berkshire credit line drawn at $41K. Tight working capital with 2-3+ week AR collection cycles.

PartRunner is a high-risk, high-potential logistics marketplace operating in the large US-Mexico delivery market with notable enterprise customers (Walmart, Amazon, Mercado Libre, Oxxo, Rappi). Revenue grew 10x from 2019-2023 and gross margins improved from negative to 17.1%. However, the balance sheet is severely underwater (-$2.49M equity), the company carries $3.27M in convertible debt, and cash is limited. The Liftit acquisition opportunity at $400K could accelerate Mexico growth significantly if executed well. GSV's $350K position through convertible notes provides equity upside with structural seniority over common. The MFN side letter on the 2026 note provides downside protection against dilutive future terms. Primary risk is company viability — monitor closely for Series A progress and note maturity management.
