Grid.online, the Czech company building shared infrastructure for first- or last-mile parcel delivery, has raised €4 million after scaling parcel volumes more than 10× in its first year, surpassing 1 million deliveries through the network. The round is led by Amsterdam-based DFF Ventures and co-led by Polish fund Movens Capital, with participation from angel investors from the early team of Finnish delivery unicorn Wolt and continued backing from existing investors Reflex Capital and J&T Ventures.
Last-mile delivery is going through the deepest structural change in a generation. Being seized by large platforms, it can swing by 50 per cent or more in a typical week, and the underlying delivery mix is also shifting — home delivery is giving way to locker and pickup-point networks, which require different setups, vehicle types and pricing.
A fleet correctly sized for last year's mix is structurally wrong for this year's. These are pressures that the entire industry feels, regardless of operator size. Add constant price wars to the mix, and you get the reason why industry margins are getting lower year by year.
The solution: neutral shared infrastructure for local parcel delivery.
grid.online was founded in 2025 by repeat founders Ondřej Krátký and Patrik Raš, building on several years of prior research and development.
