Sheffield-founded e-grocery platform Delivery Drop is enjoying a strong start to the new year, having closed 2021 by securing £14 million of backing from a tech-focused US investment house.
MMA Global Inc, headed by former Sheffield United co-chair Jim Phipps, has added it to his portfolio encompassing the ZukiApp brand - having been impressed with promotion around last summer’s delayed Euro 2020 football tournament.
The on-demand platform has acquired 30,000 active users and 450 retailers in a first year of trading, with 1,900 drivers supporting it. It is now looking at further tech roll-outs and European expansion, while across the Atlantic it aims to introduce the gaming aspect.
