“#Instacart valuation jumps to $17.7 billion<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n Instacart on Thursday said it raised $200 million in its latest round, valuing the company at $17.7 billion as it cashes in on a surge in online shopping due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

In June, Instacart raised $225 million, and the company was valued at $13.8 billion in that round. This latest round is led by existing investors Valiant Peregrine Fund and D1 Capital.<\/p>\n

The grocery delivery company, which has been branching out to deliver non-grocery goods as well, has signed up big names like Walmart, beauty product retailer Sephora and convenience store 7-Eleven in the United States since its last round of financing.<\/p>\n

Instacart\u2019s order volumes have surged as much as 500 percent year on year during the pandemic in North America as consumers, hesitant to travel<\/a> to supermarkets amid the health crisis, take to their phones to get groceries, alcohol and prescript<\/a>ion drugs delivered to their doorsteps.<\/p>\n

To help meet the demand Instacart said it has boosted the number of workers that shop for customers to more than 500,000 from 200,000 at the start of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Instacart said in June that an initial public offering is still on the horizon. It declined to comment on that this time.<\/p>\n

The new funds will be used to develop new features on the app, better support retailers\u2019 e-commerce needs and invest in Instacart Ads, it said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
