The start-up from Munich wants to revolutionize e-commerce. Venture capital companies and business angels have now invested in Alaiko.

Alaiko has raised 30 million US dollars. The venture capital company Next47 led the Series A financing round, while an undisclosed US investment firm also participated. Business angels such as Vestiaire Collective and Lazada founder Maximilian Bittner, Shipmonk investors Dan Dershem and Dave Anderson and founders and managers from companies such as DB Schenker, Alibaba, HomeToGo, Adyen and Scalable Capital have also invested in the start-up.

Alaiko intends to use the fresh capital to further develop its platform and expand its network of logistics partners. The team will also be expanded in the areas of product, sales and logistics. "We are delighted that we have been able to attract such renowned and experienced investors for our mission: to revolutionize e-commerce logistics," says founder and CEO Moritz Weisbrodt. The company handles customer service and fulfillment for online stores. Alaiko therefore takes care of incoming goods, storage, order picking, shipping and returns for customers.

Moritz Weisbrodt, Gabriel Thomalla and investor Harald Braunstein founded Alaiko in April 2020. The founders had already established the e-health company Kaia Health.
