Arrive: At the beginning of the year, Arive secured €18 million in Series A financing. Customers can quickly and easily order high-quality consumer goods through Arive and have them delivered to their homes within half an hour. Unlike other express delivery services, the Munich-based company doesn't focus on groceries. Instead, Arive delivers products from categories such as technology, jewelry, cosmetics, self-care, and home to its customers' homes. The fresh capital will be used to drive expansion into new cities in Germany and internationally. (Photo: Arive)
