UK/DENMARK - Index leads £10.5m Just-Eat funding

Just-Eat was founded in Denmark by five entrepreneurs in 2000 and launched in 2001. The company's website enables customers to browse reviews and menus for all restaurants in the network and order and pay for meals online. The service is available in Denmark, Sweden, UK, Norway, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Of the 6,000 restaurants currently in the network, about half are in located in the UK, with the majority being local, independently run businesses.

A Danish business from the outset, the company now has its legal headquarters in London. The current head count is 125, but this is expected to increase rapidly.

The investment is the first investment from the Index Ventures V fund which closed in March this year on EUR 350m.
