Footprint.club takes over Frischepost

The purchase price was not disclosed. Michel Stumpe's e-commerce conglomerate plans to acquire further food start-ups in the coming months.

The Berlin-based company Footprint.Club is acquiring Frischepost, a Hamburg-based delivery service for regional food producers, for an undisclosed sum.

According to a press release, Frischepost co-founder Eva Neugebauer will take over the sole management of the company with immediate effect. Co-founder Juliane Willing and interim CEO Tom Mayer will act as new owners and advisors for the company. In recent years, BonVenture, Sunrise Capital and oatmeal manufacturer Peter Kölln have invested around EUR 4 million in Frischepost, which employs 130 people.

Frischepost was founded in 2015 by Neugebauer and Willing and is committed to sustainability and freshness. The company describes itself as an online farm store that sells seasonal vegetables, fruit, meat and baked goods, dairy products, juices, wine and other products from producers directly in the surrounding area.

Footprint.Club, whose founders are Jens Gützkow, Michel Stumpe and Jens-Uwe Heinrich, is an e-commerce company that plans to acquire further e-food companies in the coming months. Michel Stumpe, CEO of Footprint.Club, wants to pool the resources of the companies in order to save costs, according to a press release. At the beginning of the year, Footprint.Club founded another regional food delivery service called Allesvom.Land.
