Glovo has received €140,000 in its first round of funding

Glovo is a mobile app that connects users who need to buy, ship or pick up a product with people who are willing to do that service for a fixed fee. According to Glovo, this service is 30 % cheaper to measure than traditional courier companies.

Glovo has already provided more than 300 services since its launch 7 months ago and on 19 February it won the #BCNstartupsNetworks by Wayra competition as the best pitch of the night.

Last January Glovo was one of the eleven start-ups selected by the accelerator Conector for its acceleration programme.
