Gorillas secured funding from Atlantic Food Labs

Gorillas, a Berlin, Germany-based startup providing fast delivery of convenience products at retail prices, announced the completion of a capital investment round.

The deal was made with the German food investor Atlantic Food Labs, which will get a 14.5% equity stake in the company.

Gorillas, founded in 2020 by Kagan Sümer and Jörg Kattner, is a grocery delivery provider as it aims to aggregate supermaket products ranges delivered to consumers within 10 minutes of ordering.

The company is one of the many online grocery startups from Europe funded by venture money, and claims to follow the US-based GoPuff concept (i.e. a digital convenience retailer) and aggregates supply from several local wholesalers. The service is available in Berlin in a few neighborhoods, including Prenzlauer Berg and Berlin-Mitte.
