Wolt

Wolt is a prominent technology company specializing in local commerce and logistics, connecting consumers with restaurants, grocery stores, and retail shops. Founded in Helsinki, Finland, the company has evolved from a food delivery startup into a comprehensive three-sided marketplace that serves customers, merchant partners, and courier partners across more than 25 countries. By leveraging proprietary logistics technology and high-precision routing algorithms, Wolt optimizes the delivery experience to ensure efficiency and speed in diverse urban environments. In May 2022, Wolt was acquired by the U.S.-based delivery giant DoorDash in a transaction valued at over $8 billion. Despite this acquisition, the company continues to operate under its original brand and maintains its distinct product strategy in international markets. With a strong focus on innovation, Wolt has expanded its offerings to include 'Wolt Market' for rapid grocery delivery and 'Wolt Drive,' a logistics-as-a-service solution that allows external businesses to utilize its delivery infrastructure.

Wolt’s mission is to bring joy, simplicity and earnings to the neighborhoods of the world.
