Indonesia’s HappyFresh has raised $65million in Series D funding, exceeding initial targets due to significant demand from new investors.
The round of funding was led by Naver Financial Corporation and Gafina B.V., with participation from STIC, LB and Mirae Asset Indonesia and Singapore. The round included existing investors Mirae-Asset Naver Asia Growth Fund and Z Venture Capital.
CEO of HappyFresh, Guillem Segarra, said, “We see a big shift in customers’ behaviour; retention and frequency rates have significantly increased while the overall basket size has been consistently growing.”
