Dealroom.co analysis counts 150 Delivery Hero alumni startups
The analysis attributes €7.5 billion in combined enterprise value, €4.4 billion raised and 11,000 jobs to the companies. Its scope includes alumni of Delivery Hero’s European brands.
Dealroom.co’s analysis counts 150 startups founded by Delivery Hero alumni and alumni of its European brands, with a combined value of €7.5 billion. The companies have raised €4.4 billion in venture capital and employ 11,000 people globally. The source material identifies this as a startup data platform analysis, not a regulatory decision or formal public filing.
The count includes alumni from Delivery Hero’s Berlin headquarters, efood, foodora, foodpanda’s European operations, foody, Glovo and Yemeksepeti. It also includes people who left those companies before Delivery Hero acquired them. The supplied account does not state a publication date beyond describing the analysis as newly published.
The analysis defines a broad alumni group
Dealroom.co’s reported scope covers the Berlin headquarters and the named European brands. It includes former employees who departed before an acquisition, so the count is not limited to people employed by Delivery Hero at the time of analysis. The supplied material does not give a company-by-company list for all 150 startups.
The analysis attributes €4.9 billion of the network’s combined enterprise value to Berlin-based startups. About 3,700 of the 11,000 jobs created are in Germany, according to the source. The account does not specify a valuation method or explain whether each startup’s value was assessed on the same basis.
Headquarters figures form a separate subset
Delivery Hero’s Berlin headquarters has produced 42 next-generation startups, with a combined enterprise value of €4.4 billion. Those startups have raised €3.5 billion in venture capital and employ around 6,800 people globally. These numbers describe the headquarters subset within the wider alumni network.
Across the broader European ranking, Delivery Hero ranks first by the number of alumni-founded startups and by venture capital raised. It ranks fifth by combined enterprise value and fourth by jobs created, according to the analysis. In Germany, the report places it first across its key founder-factory measures; the supplied text does not define each measure in detail.
Sector and brand counts add detail
Food is the largest reported sector, with 33 alumni-founded companies; enterprise software has 32 and the strongest early-stage pipeline. Health and transportation each account for 19 startups. The source also identifies companies across fintech, marketing, real estate, energy and other sectors, without giving totals for those fields.
foodora alumni account for 49 startups across France, Spain, Scandinavia and Central Europe, valued together at €2.3 billion. Former Glovo employees have founded 35 startups worth €461 million. These brand-level figures offer examples of activity across the network, while the source does not state whether they overlap with other reported groupings.
The account does not provide a response from Delivery Hero, nor does it describe the company as having commented on the analysis. It also leaves the underlying startup list and valuation methodology unspecified. Dealroom.co’s reported results therefore establish the stated counts and totals, while further documentation would be needed to assess the classifications and valuation approach. No legal authority, legal stage or legal date is cited because the material describes an ecosystem analysis.
