Gorillas has raised $1 billion dollars in funding, the largest round in the European grocery delivery sector to date.
The news comes seven months after the company raised $290 million in its Series B funding in March 2021.
The funding round was led by online food delivery service, Delivery Hero and included further investments by the company’s existing stakeholders.
The new capital will allow the grocery delivery service to continue its investments across operations, technology and marketing.
Founded last year, Gorillas is undergoing a period of expansion, operating over 180 warehouses in nine international markets and delivering 4.5 million orders in the past six months.
