Eight Roads et al. in €10m series-B for Take Eat Easy
Eight Roads Ventures and existing backers have invested in a €10m funding round for Belgian food delivery startup Take Eat Easy.
New investor Eight Roads (formerly known as Fidelity Growth Partners) was joined by existing backers DN Capital, Piton Capital and Rocket Internet. These took part in a €6m series-A round for the startup just four months ago. Eight Roads is currently investing from its £150m vehicle.
Take Eat Easy stated it would use the fresh funds to consolidate its position on the French and Belgian market. It will also look to expand into other European markets, such as Germany, Spain and the UK.
