Select deals from last week:
🇺🇸 ezCater, a B2B food catering company, secured $100 million Series D2 at $1.6 billion valuation. The new round values the company at just 23% premium to its previous private valuation in 2019. As workers stopped going to the office last year due to the pandemic, the company has struggled. The company saw 85% of its revenue disappear in March last year. However, since then, ezCater has pivoted to provide catering services to essential workers.
🇰🇷 Kurly, a South Korean online grocery retailer, raised $210 million at $3.3 billion valuation. The fresh funding comes 6 months after raising $200 million Series F. Kurly is expected to list at the Korean stock exchange at $5.8 billion valuation in June next year.
🇫🇷 La Belle Vie, a French online grocery delivery service, raised €25 million Series B. Launched in 2015, the company delivers 17k products within 3 hours in the Île-de-France area. In September, La Belle Vie jumped on the ultrafast grocery delivery bandwagon. Although the company goes heads and shoulders with the likes of Cajoo, Flink and Getir in Paris, La Belle Vie has operational experience that sets it apart.
