The Dutch company is attacking German providers such as Frischepost. It is bringing new investors on board for its expansion.
The Dutch online supermarket Crisp is coming to Germany soon. This is reported by the Handelsblatt. Crisp has raised €30 million in capital for its new expansion. The round is led by Berlin-based venture capitalist Target Global. In total, the Dutch have now raised 46 million euros.
Crisp supplies customers in large cities with products from the region. Farmers, bakers and fishermen are among the product suppliers. This puts the company in direct competition with the German provider Frischepost. Unlike its competitor, however, Crisp provides the infrastructure itself, while Frischepost relies on a franchise system.
Behind Crisp are the three founders Eric Klaassen, Tom Peeters and Michiel Roodenburg. They started the company in 2018, and last year they were able to increase their turnover sevenfold - probably mainly due to the pandemic.
