☆ The rapid grocery app bubble, inflated by the pandemic, is nearing its endgame
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Callum Burroughs | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Grocery apps exploded during the pandemic and attained wild, multibillion-dollar valuations. European market leader Getir and smaller rival Flink are both set for big valuation haircuts. That's against a backdrop of grocery startups quitting markets, being acquired, delaying IPO, and going bankrupt. Grocery startups took massive hits as they chased usersWhat happened? Consolidation has come quickly, as smaller startups run into the realities of a low-margin model and find they can't keep up the requisite spend to chase consumers.

☆ Grocery app Getir, once worth $11.8 billion, sees valuation almost halved with new funding, sources say
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Callum Burroughs | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Getir, one of the biggest remaining grocery apps, has raised $500 million, per sources. But its valuation has been almost halved to around $6.5 billion, from $11.8 billion. Other existing shareholders added another $150 million to $200 million to the round, two further sources said. The deal is a 45% markdown on the $11.8 billion price tag that was placed on Getir during its last fundraise in March 2022. Getir could have been valued even lower but the deal came with a high liquidation preference, the sources added.

South Africa has been struggling for years to overhaul its state-power company which is plagued by corruption and mismanagement and reeling under a 400 billion rand ($23.3 billion) debt pile. Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana told Reuters last week he was "sharpening his pencil" to provide details, so far scarce, for taking on between one- and two-thirds of Eskom's debt in his Feb. 22 budget presentation. Eskom's debt pile is not just big, it is also complex. Another 15% is international bonds, held by global asset managers such as PIMCO, BlackRock and Fidelity, according to recent filings. Eskom's international bonds could rally if the government takes on two-thirds of the debt, Wolman said, while limiting that to one third or carrying out the debt transfer over a long period of time could be negative.

☆ Sequoia-backed grocery startup Getir pushes into the US after gobbling up European rival Gorillas in $1.2 billion deal
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( Shona Ghosh | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

Getir has appointed its first US general manager after its $1.2 billion deal to buy rival Gorillas. The US market is smaller for Getir than the UK but expansion is a priority for 2023, Van Beveren told Insider. Its founder, Nazim Salur, previously told Insider that the firm would look to float in 2023, likely in the US. Retail analysts have previously told Insider the model can be profitable but requires efficiency. Van Beveren noted that Chaaya's appointment was indicative of a successful integration between the two businesses.

Fridge No More, Buyk, Jokr, and 1520 have shuttered or withdrawn from the US, while Getir, Gopuff, and Gorillas have cut staff. But analysts told Insider this may have led to blind spots when it came to the American consumer. And an insider told TechCrunch that month that Gorillas' monthly global burn rate was between $50 million and $75 million. YipitData suggests the average order for Getir, Gorillas, Gopuff, and Jokr was $21 to $32 in May. Are you a rapid delivery insider with insight to share?

☆ Grocery delivery firm Getir acquires embattled rival Gorillas as industry consolidates
▼ + stars: | 2022-12-09 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Turkish grocery delivery firm Getir acquired its German rival Gorillas for an undisclosed amount, the company said Friday. "The super fast grocery delivery industry will steadily grow for many years to come and Getir will lead this category it created 7 years ago." Loss-making grocery delivery services are enduring a tough market environment, in which investors are reevaluating positions in companies most exposed to the effects of tighter monetary policy and a rising cost of living. The long-rumored takeover values Gorillas at $1.2 billion and the broader Getir group at $10 billion, according to a report from the Financial Times. In 2021, the company was valued at $3.1 billion in a private financing round led by German food delivery company Delivery Hero .

Grocery-delivery startup Getir has acquired its German rival Gorillas at a hefty discount. Gorillas tried to raise capital to continue to operate on its own but has accepted the deal from Getir. The Berlin-based startup, which slashed jobs earlier this year, was valued at around $3 billion in 2021. Insider first reported last month that Gorillas, only founded in 2020, would likely be sold at a discount. Gorillas was last valued at $3 billion in 2021. Insider has approached Getir and Gorillas for further comment.

☆ The founder of $2.8 billion Getir explains why investors hope to find the next Uber among 10-minute grocery apps

Turkey's Getir recently hit an eye-watering $2.8 billion valuation for its grocery delivery service. The hot new consumer trend for venture capital investors is grocery apps that promise deliveries in as little as 10 minutes. Turkish grocery delivery app Getir bills itself as the original gangster. The amounts of cash flooding into the sector and the accompanying valuations are puzzling, given that grocery delivery is famously low margin.
