Voilà raises around ten million US dollars

The gastronomy start-up sends food from selected top restaurants. It has now been able to raise plenty of capital.

The delivery service Voilà has received around ten million US dollars in a current financing round, as the Handelsblatt reports. The round is led by EQT Ventures. Existing investors Food Labs and business angel Roger Hassan, former COO at Hellofresh, have also invested again. The start-up intends to use the newly acquired capital to expand into France. In the future, even more European countries are to be opened up.

Julius Wiesenhütter, Mostafa Nageeb and Florian Berg founded Voilà together in 2020. Wiesenhütter was previously Head of Germany at the delivery service Foodora. With Voilà, the founders want to create a platform for "home fine dining". The start-up delivers pre-cooked menus from gourmet restaurants to customers' homes, which then only need to be reheated. Menus can be ordered weekly until Wednesday evening. Preparation then takes place on Thursdays and the finished dish can then be delivered anywhere in Germany and should arrive at the customer's home on Fridays. There is also a suitable music playlist to create the right atmosphere for the meal. According to the company, it has already delivered to 1200 cities.
