**Former Amazon Executive Dave Clark Launches Logistics Software Startup with Major Funding**

Dave Clark, previously a high-profile executive at Amazon responsible for establishing the company's extensive delivery network, is venturing into the startup world with a new logistics software company. The startup, named Auger, has secured a substantial $100 million in financing from the investment firm Oak HC/FT.

Clark had maintained a low profile in the logistics and retail tech sectors following his departure as CEO of the venture-backed freight company Flexport last year. His latest endeavor, Auger, is headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. The company aims to develop technology that will scrutinize and enhance supply chain operations for its clients.

In a recent interview, Clark shared insights into Auger's focus on building innovative solutions to optimize the supply chains, a critical area for businesses aiming to improve efficiency and reduce costs. With the significant backing from Oak HC/FT, Auger is well-positioned to make a notable impact in the logistics technology market.
