Delli, an innovative online platform based in London, UK, has successfully secured $6 million in Seed funding, marking a significant milestone in its journey to revolutionize the independent food and drink sector. This funding round was spearheaded by returning investors Balderton and HV Capital, with the participation of Simon Beckerman, Delli's founder and Chief Creative Officer. The capital raised is intended to be utilized for expanding the platform's offerings and enhancing delivery options for consumers, ensuring that convenience remains at the forefront of their service.
Founded by the dynamic duo Marie Petrovicka and Simon Beckerman, Delli emerged onto the scene in early 2022 with a clear vision: to connect consumers with independent food and drink makers in an engaging and accessible way.
In just under two years, the platform has seen impressive growth, boasting over 500 makers who have showcased their products. Each day, Delli's dedicated team carefully curates a selection that reflects the best offerings from this vibrant community, making it easier for customers to discover unique culinary delights.
In a bid to further strengthen its market presence, Delli has been actively pursuing partnerships with renowned chefs and food creators. Notable collaborations have been formed with industry figures such as Ravneet Gill, Ben Lippett, Jackson Boxer, James Cochrane, and Sam Grainger, enhancing their credibility and appeal. The company is also geographically diversifying its maker base, establishing local partnerships in key cities. A prime example of this is the recent exclusive launch of Pollen’s croissant butter on Delli, a popular bakery in Manchester. As they continue to expand into cities like Bristol, Edinburgh, and Birmingham, Delli is poised to reshape the local food landscape and deliver unparalleled choices to a growing community of food enthusiasts.
