Amsterdam’s Crisp Raises €28M Funding With ABN AMRO

The funds will support Crisp’s sustainable business model and help fuel its growth across the Netherlands.

ABN AMRO is a major Dutch bank serving over 5 million clients across retail, corporate, and private banking in Northwest Europe.

“In recent years, Crisp has distinguished itself with a unique and sustainable vision,” says Dan Dorner, Chief Commercial Officer Corporate Banking and member of the Executive Board at ABN AMRO. “Through this partnership, ABN AMRO supports the technological transition toward a local and seasonal food chain, in line with our ambition to promote innovative solutions that create societal impact.”

In April, ABN AMRO partnered with the EIB to unlock €1.2 billion in new lending for Dutch businesses through a synthetic securitisation deal.

Following this, Crisp secured a €28M facility from ABN AMRO, replacing a U.S. venture capital loan and marking a long-term local partnership.

Crisp also appointed Boukje Taphoorn, former CMO, as an independent member of its Supervisory Board. The announcement follows Crisp being named Best Dutch Online Supermarket 2025 by YouGov, and supports its strategy for future investments and growth.

Launched in 2018, Crisp is a B Corp-certified grocery app focused on building a sustainable food system by offering local and seasonal products from small-scale producers.

Crisp has been profitable in the Netherlands since June 2024 and aims to reach profitability in Belgium by the end of this year. The company expects to be EBITDA-positive by 2026.

“In today’s economic climate, many scale-ups are forced to seek funding beyond national borders,” says Tom Peeters, CEO and co-founder of Crisp. “Alongside a solid base of Dutch investors, we now have a partnership with a leading Dutch bank that shares our long-term vision. We’re experiencing strong double-digit growth, with a solid grip on cost management, and extremely high customer satisfaction. That’s far from a given in this challenging industry.”

Crisp has recently expanded beyond consumers into the foodservice sector through partnerships with Sodexo Netherlands and school meal provider TommyTomato.

As part of its strategy, Crisp is increasing the distribution of local, regenerative products focused on biodiversity—a category that grew 30% in revenue in the past six months.

The company is also investing in product range expansion, supply chain tech, and AI implementation to support its growth.

Founded in 2018 by Michiel Roodenburg, Tom Peeters, and Eric Klaassen, Crisp is a grocery app delivering fresh, local products across the Netherlands and Belgium.

Built around local and seasonal sourcing, Crisp connects customers to 900+ small-scale suppliers, promoting circularity, zero waste, and responsible farming.

Its custom-built system ensures fast delivery with minimal distance from farm to fork. In 2024, Crisp became B Corp certified with a score of 109, recognizing its commitment to sustainability.
