Grocery delivery company, Weezy has raised $20m (£14.7m) in Series A funding led by Left Lane Capital. The firm offers 15 minute deliveries and will use the investment to expand across London and the UK. 

Co-founder, Kristof Van Beveren makes the case for Weezy’s fast delivery promise:

“People are no longer happy to wait around for deliveries, and there is strong demand for a more efficient service,” said co-founder and chief executive Kristof Van Beveren. Weezy customers love the friendliness of our team, the quality of our produce, and our quick, accurate delivery times. This new funding round will allow us to expand the team and our footprint to bring Weezy to more customers across the UK.”

The company will open 2 fuliment centres in London Fields and Lambeth later this month complementing existing bases in Fulham, Battersea, Clapham and Chelsea. 40 more locations are planned for this year.
