The Company
Jinn App is a startup based in London founded in 2013 by Mario Navarro, León Herrera and Joseba Mendivil. Jinn started operating in Central London 2 years ago and has raised a total of $10M. Through its App, Jinn provides an on-demand delivery service that delivers any product in under an hour. They are now completing over 50K orders a month in that area and are growing over 30% month on month. Jinn differentiates itself as they are able to pick up and deliver anything from local merchants in the city and operates 24/7. Other
competitors are limited to only one vertical or to a small area. Jinn’s customers order on average once every 7 days, which is at least twice as much as regular food delivery services. Jinn has close to 500 partners and expects to double that amount over the next 3 months.
The startup recently expanded to Manchester and are seeing very positive results. Series A was closed on April 2016 for $7.5M led by Samaipata Ventures and subscribed by STE Capital, Elderstreet, Bull Partners and existing angel investors. They want to use the money raised to expand to more cities in the UK and Europe. Read further on TechCrunch!
