Berlin-based quick-commerce company Flink has secured approximately $100 million in new growth funding to support its expansion strategy and strengthen its position in the European online grocery market.
The funding round was led by Prosus, with participation from existing investors and Btomorrow Ventures, the corporate venture arm of BAT.
Building A Rapid Grocery Delivery Network
Founded in 2021, Flink operates a network of local fulfillment centers designed to enable rapid delivery of groceries and everyday household products through its mobile app. The company focuses on high-frequency “top-up” shopping, offering customers a curated range of essential items delivered directly from nearby hubs.
The company’s logistics model relies on local micro-fulfillment facilities combined with in-house delivery operations, allowing orders to reach customers in roughly 30 minutes.
According to Flink, the platform currently records an average basket value above €45, reflecting demand for frequent convenience-based grocery purchases.

Expansion Across Core Markets
Flink currently operates in Germany and the Netherlands, two markets where quick-commerce adoption remains strong following consolidation across the broader European online grocery sector.
During 2026, the company plans to expand its network by opening additional fulfillment hubs in selected German regions. These locations will be chosen based on population density and operational efficiency to support sustainable growth.
The company says its expansion strategy prioritizes profitability and operational discipline rather than rapid geographic scaling.
Market Context
The quick-commerce sector experienced rapid growth earlier in the decade but later faced consolidation as companies adjusted their business models to focus on sustainable operations. Many operators have reduced geographic coverage or merged with competitors to improve profitability.
Flink’s strategy centers on maintaining a focused regional presence while optimizing delivery operations and logistics efficiency within its existing markets.
Use Of Funding
The new capital will strengthen Flink’s balance sheet and provide additional flexibility to support expansion within its core regions. The funding will also help the company continue refining its operational model and scaling its network of local fulfillment hubs.
