JOKR funding rounds
| Date | Stage | Investors | Raised | Valuation | Deal Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Feb 2023 | Series C | Convivialite Ventures (lead); G Squared (lead); Tiger Global; GGV Capital; HV Capital | $50M | $1.3B | JOKR is an instant grocery delivery platform specializing in hyper-local, rapid delivery of supermarket products, convenience items, pharmaceuticals, and exclusive local goods within minutes. Founded in 2021 by Ralf Wenzel and headquartered in New York with operations focused on Latin America (as DAKI in Brazil), the company raised $50 million in a Series C funding round announced February 6, 2023, at a post-money valuation of $1.3 billion. The round was led by G Squared, with participation from existing investors including GGV Capital, Tiger Global Management, and HV Capital, providing capital to support a fully funded business plan toward self-sustainability and reduced dependence on external funding. CEO Ralf Wenzel highlighted the valuation as reflecting strong traction and progress toward profitability despite market corrections, validated by both new and existing investors. This Series C followed a Series B in March 2022 at $1.2 billion valuation with $260 million raised. The funding aimed to bolster operations in key markets like Brazil, where JOKR had doubled down after exiting some Latin American regions earlier. A subsequent Series D in September 2023 raised another $50 million at a reduced $800 million post-money valuation, led by Convivialité Ventures and Lombard Odier, with similar investors including G Squared, GGV, Balderton, Monashees, Greycroft, and Tiger Global; this down-round reflected market conditions without additional governance strings. |
| Dec 2021 | Series B | G Squared (lead) | $260M | $1.2B | JOKR is a rapid grocery delivery platform offering 15-minute delivery of supermarket, convenience, pharmaceutical, and local products through a hyper-local model with proprietary algorithms for inventory optimization, achieving high customer retention rates over 50% organic and accelerating order frequency. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Berlin, the company launched operations in March 2021 and quickly expanded into Latin America and the U.S. before later refocusing on Latin America and exiting the U.S. market. The $260M Series B round, announced around November 2021 to early 2022 and matching the G Squared participation (as a key investor alongside lead Tiger Global, SoftBank Latin America Fund, GGV Capital, Activant Capital, Greycroft, HV Capital, and others), valued JOKR at a $1.2 billion post-money valuation, granting unicorn status just eight months after launch. Funds were allocated to accelerate product development, team expansion, global operations scaling (particularly in high-growth Latin American cities), technology enhancements, and localized inventory to boost basket sizes and sustainability. This followed a Series A in July 2021 and preceded a $50M Series C in February 2023 at $1.3B valuation led by G Squared, with total funding reaching $480M in equity and debt by early 2023 amid industry challenges like post-Covid shifts and funding slowdowns in quick commerce. |
| Jul 2021 | Series A | Balderton Capital (lead); GGV Capital (lead); Kaszek | $170M | - | JOKR is an instant grocery delivery startup founded by Ralf Wenzel and team from foodpanda and Delivery Hero, launched in March 2021, focusing on micro-fulfillment centers for rapid delivery in Latin America and the US. In summer 2021, JOKR raised $170 million in a Series A round led by GGV Capital, Balderton Capital, and Tiger Global Management, following an undisclosed seed from SoftBank and Tiger Global. The funds supported rapid expansion amid strong investor interest. By early 2022, JOKR raised a $260 million Series B at $1.2 billion post-money valuation, achieving unicorn status just eight months after launch, backed by Activant Capital, Balderton, Greycroft, GGV Capital, G-Squared, HV Capital, Kaszek, Mirae Asset, Monashees, Moving Capital, Tiger Global, and others including founder investments. The company reported best-in-class customer retention, over 50% organic new customers, accelerating order frequency, and 15% weekly GMV growth, with focus shifting to grocery in Latin America. Later rounds included a $50 million Series C at $1.3 billion valuation in February 2023 and a $50 million Series D at $800 million post-money in September 2023 led by Convivialité Ventures, with advertising now at 10% of revenue per CEO. JOKR aimed for profitability and potential re-entry into exited Latin American markets. Balderton Capital, with $5B+ AUM, continued support from Series A onward. |
