2 Minutes by Reuters Staff Read (Reuters) – BERLIN, July 1 (Reuters) – Rohlik, a Czech online grocery delivery business, announced on Thursday that it had secured $100 million from investors at a $1 billion valuation, making it the latest competitor in the hot sector to beef up its growth efforts. Index Ventures led the investment, which comes just three months after Rohlik received 190 million euros ($226 million) from investors to grow into Germany from its current markets of the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Austria. “We are now seen as a European company that can scale quickly,” said Tomas Cupr, the company’s founder. “The freshly obtained investment enables us to grow even quicker than we had planned, particularly in the areas of new market entry, fulfillment center automation, and overall pace of innovation, including employing excellent personnel,” says the company. Rohlik, which was created in 2014, generated more than 300 million euros in revenue last year and has 750,000 clients. Getir in Turkey and Flink in Germany are two more online grocery delivery firms that have recently raised funds.
