Dec 2021Series D-$85M$600MTakeOff Technologies is a Waltham, Mass.-based developer of automated grocery fulfillment solutions, providing microfulfillment centers (MFCs) that use robotics to store groceries in compact vertical rows and assemble orders quickly. The company licenses its robotics technology from Knapp and has partnerships with major grocers including Albertsons, Ahold Delhaize, Wakefern, Sedano’s in the US, and Woolworths in Australia. Each MFC costs about $4 million to install and can generate annual sales of $30 million-$50 million per center, though these figures refer to client grocer sales volume, not TakeOff's revenue. TakeOff raised a total of $164.62M across 9 or 10 funding rounds, with investors including 5 entities, one of which is Woolworths Group in a later asset sale. An earlier Series C round raised $25M led by Forrestal Capital for 5% of the company at a $500M valuation, bringing total funding at that time to $86M since founding in 2016. The 2021 funding supported scaling across North America, Europe, and Australia, and developing Version 2.0 of its MFC solution. However, TakeOff later faced challenges, filing for bankruptcy/admin in May 2024 and undergoing an asset sale on August 21, 2024.
Sep 2019Series CForrestal Capital (lead); H20 Capital; IGNIA$25M$500MTakeoff Technologies, founded in 2016 by José Vicente Aguerrevere and Max Pedró and based in Waltham, Massachusetts, develops microfulfillment centers (MFCs) for grocery retailers, enabling automated online grocery order fulfillment using robotics and AI to assemble orders rapidly at lower costs than traditional eCommerce. The company partners with major chains including Albertsons, Ahold Delhaize, Wakefern, Sedano’s in the US, and Woolworths in Australia, operating several MFCs with plans for expansion across North America, Europe, and Australia. In September 2019, it closed a $25 million Series C round led by Forrestal Capital with participation from H20 Capital and Ignia, representing 5% of the company at a $500 million post-money valuation, bringing total funding to $86 million. The proceeds fund MFC rollout scale and enhancements, coinciding with the announcement of Version 2.0 MFC design featuring smaller footprint, 6% faster order picking, increased storage, and autonomous mobile robots for tote transport. This iteration optimizes installation and operations while avoiding human obstacles. Takeoff's technology leverages exclusivity with Knapp for automated warehouse solutions, focusing on cost-efficient order assembly and last-mile delivery from attached or standalone centers, as demonstrated by its first standalone MFC in Clifton, New Jersey, servicing ShopRite stores. As a pioneer in microfulfillment, Takeoff positions itself ahead of competitors by deploying proven robotics capable of handling 60 orders in minutes. By 2020, the company had grown to 250 employees.
Nov 2018Series BIGNIA (lead); H20 Capital$21M$180MTakeOff Technologies Inc., founded in 2016 and based in Waltham, Massachusetts, develops automated grocery fulfillment systems for online grocery retailers. The platform integrates retailers, real estate, and automation technology to connect directly with consumers, using robots in micro-fulfillment centers to reduce last-mile and assembly costs. This enables grocers to adapt to e-commerce demands, as demonstrated by its partnership with Albertsons Companies. In a Series B round dated around April 2019, TakeOff raised $36.65 million from investors including H20 Capital and Ignia Partners, achieving a post-money valuation of $180.04 million at a price per share of $5.91. The company has continued raising capital, with total funding exceeding $86 million, including a recent $25 million round, and further Series B-1 and Series C activity. TakeOff focuses on helping traditional grocers compete in online grocery through flexible, cost-efficient automation.
Jan 2018Series AForrestal Capital (lead); Ataria$13M-TakeOff Technologies raised $12 million in an early stage venture round on January 31, 2018, led by Forrestal Capital with participation from Ataria and others, as part of its efforts in logistics, e-commerce, grocery, and software sectors. The Waltham, Massachusetts-based company develops automated microfulfillment centers (MFCs) for grocery stores, licensing robotics technology to enable fast order assembly using vertical storage and robots. This funding brought total capital to around $33.5 million prior to later rounds. The 2018 round supported initial deployments, including the launch of TakeOff's first automated hyperlocal fulfillment center serving 14 Sedano’s stores in Miami later that year. TakeOff partnered with grocers like Albertsons, Ahold Delhaize, Wakefern, Sedano’s in the US, and Woolworths in Australia. Each MFC costs about $4 million to install and can generate annual sales of $30 million to $50 million per center. Subsequent rounds included a $24 million Series B in October 2018 led by Forrestal Capital, bringing total funding to $46 million, and a $25 million Series C in 2019 also led by Forrestal Capital for 5% equity at a $500 million valuation, raising total funding to $86 million for scaling across North America, Europe, and Australia, plus MFC Version 2.0 rollout.
