Grid.online raises €4M for shared parcel delivery
Czech startup Grid.online raised €4M to expand its shared last-mile delivery network for parcel carriers.
Last-mile delivery is still messy, expensive and fragmented. Grid.online is trying to make courier capacity behave more like shared infrastructure.
What happened
Czech startup Grid.online raised €4M after scaling parcel volumes more than 10x in its first year and surpassing 1M deliveries.
The company provides shared courier capacity for parcel carriers through a single API, rather than operating as a consumer-facing delivery brand.
Why it matters
This is a logistics infrastructure story.
By connecting carriers to shared courier capacity, Grid.online can help parcel companies handle demand without each one building its own full last-mile network. That makes the model more infrastructure-like and potentially more scalable than classic gig-economy delivery.
The bigger picture
The delivery market is shifting from consumer app wars to operational efficiency. The most useful startups may be the ones hiding in the backend, making existing logistics networks work better.
