Two million euros for delivery start-up Dropp

The company wants to transfer the business principle of Gorillas, Flink & Co. to other product groups. The service is now being launched in Berlin.
A new fast delivery service is appearing on the scene in Germany, but this time not for food. The Berlin start-up Dropp announced its launch in Germany on Thursday. The company has also completed pre-seed financing of two million euros. The money comes from Atlantic Ventures, Kima Ventures, Collective Ventures and former Gorillas managers Ronny Shibley and Jörg Kattner.
Dropp promises to deliver products to customers within three hours. E-commerce providers of all categories can use the Berlin-based company's services. The company uses hyperlocal warehouses to guarantee short delivery routes. According to the company, the entire process should be as CO2-neutral as possible.
Dropp was founded by Alessa Vogler, Nicolas Pörschke and Philip Braun. "With our innovative approach of enabling climate-neutral and time-efficient delivery for online stores, we are getting closer to our vision of playing a decisive role in shaping the logistics of the future in urban areas," said Vogler at the launch. Some of the founders already have experience in e-commerce: Vogler was Head of Corporate Development at furniture mail order company Westwing, while Braun worked at digital freight forwarder Forto. Dropp's service is initially available in Berlin, with Cologne and Munich to be added by the end of the year.
