Alven participated in this consolidation as a historical shareholder of Frichti which merged with Gorillas earlier this year. The merger with Getir values Gorillas 1,2bn$.
Getir is a strong leader in Turkey and is present in 10 countries. The merger with Gorillas is creating a European leader and very substancial synergies are expected in the transaction, notably reducing the customer acquisition costs of the combined entity and optimizing its dark shops network and supplier relationships.
Amsterdam-based Creative Fabrica, a social platform for crafters and designers, has raised $61M in growth capital to offer more resources for its community of 4 million creators. The round is led by Alven, joined by LionTree and TriplePoint with continued participation from Peak Capital, Felix Capital and FJ Labs. The funding will be used towards existing and new creator verticals, further build out of the platform’s designer network, expansion of creative generative AI toolset, and growing the team with senior talent globally.
