Food delivery giant Getir secures $250 million in funding led by Abu Dhabi wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. Founded in 2015, the company has raised over $1.8B, previously raising a $768 million Series E funding round in 2022.
SUMMARY
- Food delivery giant Getir secures $250 million in funding led by Abu Dhabi wealth fund Mubadala Investment Co. Founded in 2015.
- Getir is a lightning-fast delivery platform. They bring groceries in around ten minutes right to your door.
However, after leaving the European market recently, the company has had difficulty expanding. The Berlin grocery delivery service Gorillas was shut down in May after the firm announced its withdrawal from Germany. It purchased Gorillas for €1.1 billion in December 2022. In 2023, it left its remaining European markets, which included Portugal, Spain, France, and Italy.
The Istanbul company's only market at this point is its own country of Turkey. Co-founder and CEO Nazim Salur will be replaced as part of the funding by Getir's Turkey head, Batuhan Gultakan.
