Bagging €1.2M with help from top industry angels, Sparqle aims to expand its tech and green delivery network. With e-cargo bikes and a vision for cleaner cities, they're riding into a sustainable future.
Sparqle, the Amsterdam sensation, just pocketed a cool €1.2M, thanks to some big names like the ex-Deliveroo head honcho and the Just Eat Takeaway tech wizard. Their wallets opened wide, this cash infusion is all about supercharging Sparqle's tech and stretching its green tendrils across Europe faster than you can say "eco-friendly."
What's the game plan? Imagine a world where your package arrives not with a growl of an engine, but with the quiet whir of an e-cargo bike. Sparqle's not just dreaming it; they're doing it. Their secret sauce? A mix of top-notch software and a fleet of electric wonders, all aiming to slash carbon footprints and make city air not taste like a tailpipe.
"The logistics sector's ripe for a green makeover," quips Ruurd Tjeerdema, Sparqle's co-founder. With this new stack of cash, they plan to turn our urban jungles into slightly less concrete-y, more breathable spaces. And let's not forget Tim van Alphen, who's eyeing those emission-free city zones like a hawk with a green agenda.
It's not just about being green; it's about being smart. Sparqle's tech is a double whammy: good for the planet and your wallet. By weaving through the city on their e-bikes, they're dodging traffic, cutting down on emissions, and probably delivering your next parcel on the sly. In the world of delivery, Sparqle's looking to be king of the eco-castle.
