"Investors in Flink SE have committed to pumping a further €100 million ($106 million) into the German grocery delivery startup, extending its runway as the sector struggles with rising costs and sluggish demand, people familiar with the matter said.
The company has also been in discussions with potential merger partners, said the people, who asked not to be identified as the talks are private.
About a third of the financing has already been paid out, they said, adding that two further tranches could follow depending on the outcome of ongoing sale discussions with Turkish rival Getir and Dutch food delivery company Just Eat Takeaway.com NV."
