Delivery Hero SE is a publicly listed online food-delivery service based in Berlin, Germany. The company operates in 40+ countries internationally in Europe, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East and partners with 250,000+ restaurants.[3]

According to its annual report of the year 2018, the company is the global leader in categories such as orders, restaurants and active customers. For instance, Delivery Hero processed more than 369 million orders in 2018.[4]

History

Delivery Hero Holding was founded by Niklas Östberg, Kolja Hebenstreit, Markus Fuhrmann and Lukasz Gadowski in May 2011, with the goal of turning Delivery Hero into a global online food ordering platform.[5] Under the leadership of Niklas Östberg and Fabian Siegel, Delivery Hero first expanded to Australia and the United Kingdom in 2011. In early 2012 the enterprise acquired Lieferheld in Germany and acquired a stake in Foodarena, Switzerland.[6]

Delivery Hero then raised €25 million in new funding to finance acquisitions in four European countries: Sweden, Finland, Austria and Poland. In August 2012 Delivery Hero started expanding in both South Korea and China through YoGiYo and Aimifan[7] and the Asian expansion continued in 2013 when Delivery Hero increased investment in TastyKhana following a successful cooperation period.[8]

In 2012 and 2013, the harsh competition between the various delivery service online portals led the German press to dub the events as cyberwar between the big web-portals. There were reports of frequent Denial-of-service attack attacks against each portal, accusations of data stealing as well as numerous lawsuits of the portals against each other. Delivery Hero was one of the more aggressive actors, and in 2012, the Delivery Hero office in Berlin was raided by police and the prosecution pressed charged against the Delivery Hero management. Delivery Hero was prosecuted for perpetrating DoS attacks against its competitors and stealing data from the other web services.[9][10]

In 2014 Delivery Hero acquired a controlling stake in Latin American market leader PedidosYa [11] and in August 2014 the group acquired German market leader and rival, pizza.de.[12][13]

According to TNW Tech5 2014, Delivery Hero was one of Germany's top 3 fastest growing start ups at that time.[14]

In April 2015, Delivery Hero acquired South Korean delivery service Baedaltong, one of the chief competitors of its own YoGiYo service. One month later Delivery Hero bought the Turkish competitor Yemeksepeti for 530 million Euro, which was the largest acquisition in this business sector to date.[15] In October 2015 Delivery Hero also acquired Munich-based food delivery service Foodora from Rocket Internet.[16]

On 10 December 2016 Delivery Hero acquired Foodpanda, a company estimated at a $3 billion valuation at that time.[17]

In December 2016, the company announced the sale of its UK business Hungryhouse to Just Eat for at least £200m. However, the deal needs to be cleared by the Competition and Markets Authority of UK before completion.[18] On 12 October 2017, CMA gave a preliminary approval for Just Eat to acquire its smaller rival.[19]

Delivery Hero went public in a listing on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on June 30, 2017. The listing was the largest by a European technology business in almost two years. Delivery Hero raised almost €1bn from the offering.[20]

In December 2018, Delivery Hero sold their German operations to Takeaway.com.[21]

In November 2011, Delivery Hero received its first investment funding. In this financing round Team Europe, Holtzbrinck Ventures, Tengelmann Ventures, Kite Ventures and ru-Net together invested €4 million.[22] The second funding round took place in April 2012. This time the existing investors raised their investments by €25 million to support the international growth of the enterprise. In August 2012 Delivery Hero received an additional €40 million funded primarily by Kite Ventures and Kreos Capital.[23] A Series D financing round saw Delivery Hero receive $30 million from Phenomen Ventures In the latest Series D financing round.[24]

In January 2014 Delivery Hero announced a Series E financing of $88 million led by Insight Venture Partners.[25] A further $85m followed in April 2014 and was used to strengthen Delivery Hero's presence in core markets.[26]

In September 2014 a further $350m of investment was secured from existing partners and Swedish fund Vostok Nafta.[27] This was the largest investment in a European start up since 2009.[28] In December 2014 the company raised another €287 Million from Rocket Internet. The total investment size by Rocket Internet was €496 Million in primary and secondary for a 30% stake in Delivery Hero.[29] Three months later Rocket Internet increased its stake in Delivery Hero to 39%. In February 2018, Rocket Internet reduced its stake in Delivery Hero. As per the latest happening, the shareholding of Rocket Internet in Delivery Hero has reduced from 24.3% to 21.2%.[30]

In January 2017, CEO Niklas Östberg announced that he wanted his company to be ready for an IPO in the second quarter of that year. Delivery Hero would focus on the integration of the recently acquired competitor Foodpanda. According to manager magazin, he was aiming at a valuation of about 3.5 billion Euros.[31]
