Shappi

Shappi Inc. is a California-based logistics and shipping platform founded in 2018 by CEO Karla Valdivieso. The company specializes in cross-border delivery solutions between the U.S. and Latin America, addressing high costs and limited access to U.S. goods in Latin America through a peer-to-peer model. Shappi connects Latin American shoppers with verified travelers returning from the U.S., allowing shoppers to rent unused luggage space for product delivery. The platform features a peer-to-peer marketplace that digitizes the informal practice of transporting goods, offering a faster and more affordable alternative to traditional shipping. Shappi manages transactions, trust verification, and coordination between shoppers and travelers, focusing on high-demand categories like electronics and luxury goods. The company has experienced significant growth, with a user base demonstrating threefold year-over-year expansion, and operates in a market handling $52 billion annually in U.S.-Latin America logistics.
