On July 24, 2020, Los Angeles-based SaaS transportation booking start-up Swoop said it has raised $3.2 million in a seed funding round led by Signia Venture Partners, South Park Commons, and several angel investors, including former Uber CPO Manik Gupta; Kevin Weil, co-creator of Libra at Facebook; Kim Fennel, a former Uber executive; and Elizabeth Weil, former partner at Andreessen Horowitz; and 122 West Ventures. The company aims to bring small, local transportation operators into the digital age with a new software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform that it says is helping them adapt in this COVID-19 era. The company is ramping up its SaaS product in hopes of tapping into a marketplace where customers spend $40 billion annually. 

 The Wilson Sonsini team that represented Swoop in the transaction includes Andrew Sparks, Nico Kerr, Sam Millang, and paralegal Anna Johansen.
