History

The company was founded in 2015 by a team including Nazım Salur, who also founded Turkish ride-hailing app BiTaksi.[3][4] Getir has expanded aggressively since then, having doubled its orders in the second half of 2019 to reach almost 1.5 million in December of that year.[2] It generated $120 million from sales in 2019.[5]

In July 2021, Getir bought Spanish online grocery startup BLOK, adding several major cities in Southern Europe to its delivery spots.[6] On 23 November 2021, Getir bought U.K.-based hyper fast grocery delivery startup Weezy.[7]

In March 2022, the company closed a Series E funding round, raising $768 million, with Mubadala Investment Company leading the round. Getir's valuation subsequently rose to $12 billion.[8]
