Grid.online Raises €4 Million to Expand Delivery Network
Grid.online, a Czech-based startup, has secured €4 million in funding to enhance its shared infrastructure model for first- and last-mile parcel deliveries. The company enables couriers and other transporters to increase their incomes by up to 50%, while allowing clients to speed up and streamline the movement of goods through shared transportation capacity.
Funding Details
The funding round, dated June 22, 2026, was led by DFF Ventures. Additional investors include Movens Capital, Reflex Capital, and J&T Ventures. This financial backing will support Grid.online's continued expansion in the logistics sector.
Company Background and Growth
Founded by Ondrej Kratky, who serves as CEO, and Patrik Ras, the CFO, Grid.online has experienced rapid growth since its inception. The company reported a tenfold increase in parcel delivery volume within its first year and has already completed over one million deliveries through its network.
Ondrej Kratky, CEO, commented on the achievement: "We built grid.online on the trust of our early clients and couriers, who saw what we saw: that e-commerce delivery is heading toward more vehicles on the streets and tougher economics unless the industry builds a shared alternative. The €4 million lets us keep building that alternative with them—a grid that works economically for carriers and couriers alike, and powers the future of e-commerce."
Strategic Use of Funds
The newly acquired funds will allow Grid.online to further develop its infrastructure, aiming to optimize the economics of its delivery model. By continuing to innovate, the company seeks to maintain its strong growth trajectory and improve service efficiency for couriers and clients alike.
Investor Insights
DFF Ventures, the lead investor, expressed confidence in Grid.online's business model. "We said we would not invest in logistics, especially last-mile, but the model of the grid changed our mind. Most early-stage logistics companies grow by spending. Grid.online grew 10× while having strong unit economics – that almost never happens, and when it does, it means the model is structurally sound," an investor spokesperson noted.
Grid.online's funding round signifies a robust endorsement of its shared delivery model, which promises to reshape the logistics landscape by enhancing delivery efficiency and providing economic benefits to couriers and clients alike.
