\tNorth American grocery delivery service Instacart planned a recruitment drive and fanned the flames of speculation an IPO was closer to happening, after swelling its coffers by $265 million in a fresh funding round.<\/p>\n

The company stated a 50 per cent increase in staff numbers during H1 2021 was one of several plans for the fresh capital. Other target areas are improvements to a system connecting \u201ccustomers and retailers\u201d; a packaged goods advertising service; and an enterprise-focused unit which coordinates e-commerce methods.<\/p>\n

Existing investors Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management and Research Company, and T. Rowe Price Associates contributed the latest finance, which Instacart said increased its valuation to $39 billion.<\/p>\n

Financial Times reported this compared with a $17.8 billion valuation when Instacart completed a funding round in November 2020. The newspaper added the app tops the tables of grocery delivery services in the US and asserted the latest financing advanced plans for a \u201clong-anticipated\u201d IPO.<\/p>\n

Instacart noted Covid-19 (coronavirus) boosted its business by changing shopping habits.<\/p>\n

But it highlighted the grocery sector, in particular, was \u201cstill in the early stages\u201d of digital transformation in North America.<\/p>\n

In 2020 it looked to cash in on this transformation by adding \u201cmore than 200 new retailers and more than 15,000\u201d store locations, and expanding its same-day service to a range of categories beyond groceries.<\/p>\n\n
