Like its food-delivery peers such as Uber Eats, owned by Uber Technologies (UBER), Deliveroo has enjoyed a massive boost in sales from the Covid-19 pandemic, with millions of housebound people ordering in meals. However, Deliveroo initially suffered at the beginning of the pandemic because its partner restaurants themselves were closed. The CMA said that the company met the criteria for a “failing firm” before its finances rebounded in April as restaurants reopened. What’s new. Deliveroo said on Sunday that it had secured $180 million after the completion of a funding round from existing investors, led by Durable Capital Partners and Fidelity Management. The group said the latest round pushes its valuation above $7 billion.
