Delli, an innovative food and beverage company based in London, UK, has successfully secured $7.2 million in funding to bolster its operations and support its ambitious growth plans. This significant funding round was spearheaded by prominent investors Balderton and HV Capital, both of whom are known for backing forward-thinking startups. With this fresh capital in hand, Delli aims to accelerate its expansion efforts and enhance the various community-focused initiatives it has developed since its inception, ensuring a lasting impact on the local food scene.
The company was founded by Simon Beckerman, who envisioned a platform that not only provides delicious food and drink options but also fosters a sense of community among its consumers.
Delli operates using a unique “drop” model to introduce its products, releasing a limited quantity of new offerings at predetermined times. This strategy not only generates excitement and anticipation among customers but also effectively addresses common challenges faced by small producers, such as managing food waste and maintaining a steady cash flow. By innovating within the food and beverage market, Delli seeks to create a more sustainable ecosystem for local producers and consumers alike.
Earlier this year, Delli welcomed Marie Petrovicka as its co-founder and COO, bringing valuable experience from her previous role as VP of Markets at Depop. This addition is expected to further strengthen the leadership team, which also includes talents like Natalie Lee Joe and Nebil Kriedi, all of whom contribute diverse skill sets and perspectives to the company's mission. As Delli moves forward with its plans for expansion, it remains firmly committed to its community-focused ethos, working tirelessly to support local producers while delighting customers with exceptional food and beverage experiences.
