Felix, Verlinvest lead €30m funding round for Frichti

Existing investors Alven Capital and Idinvest Partners also took part in the round, which will fund the geographic expansion of the company that currently focuses on the greater Paris area. Initially the business will look to increase its presence across France, before expanding into other European cities, with the London market cited as a potential option.

Following the transaction, Frichti will also look to increase its headcount, which currently stands at 300. At the time of its previous funding round 14 months ago, the company employed around 100 people.

Previous funding
Frichti first received venture capital backing in November 2015, when Alven provided it with €1m of growth capital funding.

Idinvest and Alven then took part in a €12m round of funding for Frichti in March 2016, with business angels Pierre Valade, Céline Lazorthes and Céline Orjub also taking part in the round.

Company
