Mobility startup Bolt announced on Monday that it has raised €600 million from investors, Reuters reports, cited by Agerpres. The company will use the funds for fast delivery of food, a highly competitive market, and it wants to become “Europe’s first super app” by expanding its service business.

Following the funding round, which values Bolt at more than €4 billion, the Talinn-based company is better placed than European rivals Getir, Gorillas and Jokr.

Bolt claims it will become “Europe’s first super app”, expanding its business from ride-hailing services and electric scooter rentals to food delivery.
