Created to enable impactful ecommerce brands

Middle Mile was founded after we grew frustrated with the way fulfillment held back the growth of ecommerce companies. While the largest companies get 100% 2-day shipping and the lowest costs, everyone else is at a disadvantage, making it harder for ecomm entrepreneurs to succeed.

We are here to change that. Our goal is to help you make a happy consumer on every single order. When we do that, you grow, we get more orders to fulfill, and we grow too. We make the advantages of scaled logistics available to smaller companies, turning fulfillment into a key part of your growth.

We have seen first hand how difficult it is for people on a career break, like staying at home to parent young children, to find income. These people are incredibly reliable and their families make incredible sacrifices. We are honored to work with such dedicated and capable peoples and help them earn meaningful income at critical stages in life.

Willis F. Jackson III

CEO

Willis was the founding PM at Grove Collaborative, adding $40m in long-term recurring sales, helping to quickly scale the company from $60m to $240m in sales over a 2 year period.

He also helped to solve fraud at Shippo, turn around underperforming delivery operations at UPS, and served as the Product Executive at a struggling FinTech, leading them from declining sales to large Series B in a year.

He believes strongly that access to economic opportunity and upward mobility are critical to our society and he loves helping ecommerce brands figure out their growth. He was inspired to start Middle Mile after his wife struggled to find secondary income while staying at home with their young child.
