By generating over €550m in revenue in 2025, we have proven that our model is not only desirable but financially formidable. Having built a proven foundation, we are now shifting from establishing our presence to accelerating our impact. Backed by prestigious partners like Prosus, Mubadala, Bond, DoorDash, Btomorrow Ventures and REWE, and fueled by fresh investment, we are entering our next major growth phase. We are thinking bigger, expanding our footprint, and refining every link in our value chain. Our culture is defined by a shared bias for action and the commitment to being 1% better every day.
