Czech logistics startup Grid.online lands €4M to scale its shared courier network across Europe

Grid.online, a Czech startup building neutral shared infrastructure for last-mile parcel delivery, has raised €4 million (approximately $4.4 million) in a venture funding round announced on June 22, 2026 . The round was led by DFF Ventures, a Netherlands-based fund, and co-led by Movens Capital, a Polish fund, with participation from Reflex Capital, J&T Ventures, and angel investors connected to the early Wolt team .

In its first year of operations, Grid.online surpassed 1 million deliveries, achieving more than 10× volume growth over that period . The platform now connects nearly 2,000 active couriers .

The problem: idle courier capacity and inflexible last-mile logistics

Traditional last-mile delivery is inefficient because courier capacity sits idle during slow periods, while businesses struggle to find flexible, on-demand delivery resources at reasonable cost. Grid.online solves this by acting as a neutral, shared infrastructure layer — it aggregates unused transportation capacity from existing couriers, taxi drivers, and gig workers, and lets logistics companies and e-commerce businesses tap into that capacity on demand . This reduces costs for shippers, increases utilization and earnings for couriers, and cuts the number of delivery vehicles on city streets .

How the platform works

Grid.online operates as an API-driven logistics cloud. Businesses integrate via a single API to purchase delivery capacity in real time. The platform connects them to a shared network of independent couriers who use a driver app to receive jobs, navigate to pickups and drop-offs, and communicate with customers. Clients can set parameters like parcel weight (0–15 kg), delivery speed, precision, and preferred drop-off points — address, pickup point, or locker .

The company was founded in 2025 by Ondřej Krátký and Patrik Raš as a spin-off from the Czech ride-hailing app Liftago, and it operates as a capacity platform rather than owning its own fleet .

Plans for the funding

Grid.online plans to use the capital to scale its shared first- and last-mile delivery network across Europe, expand its technology platform, and prepare for international expansion beyond the Czech Republic . The funding will also support further development of the company's algorithmic pricing and logistics workflow automation .
