Abstract: Abstract This study investigates the symbiotic relationship between entrepreneurs and technology within start-up logistics providers. In the dynamic logistics landscape characterized by escalating customer demands and technological advancements, entrepreneurs increasingly leverage innovative technologies to disrupt traditional paradigms and carve their niche in the market. We draw upon a synthesis of scholarly literature and empirical evidence; this research elucidates the multifaceted influence of entrepreneurs and technology on the emergence and growth of start-up logistics firms. Entrepreneurs play a pivotal role as catalysts for innovation, driving the adoption of cutting-edge technologies such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and IoT to enhance operational efficiency, optimize supply chain management, and deliver superior customer experiences. Moreover, entrepreneurial initiatives foster a culture of agility and adaptability, enabling start-ups to respond to market dynamics and capitalize on emerging opportunities swiftly. Furthermore, technology integration empowers start-up logistics providers to offer personalized services, streamline logistics processes, and mitigate operational challenges. Through a comprehensive analysis of case studies and industry trends, this research underscores the transformative potential of entrepreneurial endeavors coupled with technological innovation in revolutionizing the landscape of start-up logistics providers.
