The Uzbek startup Delever, which develops a B2B SaaS platform for managing orders and deliveries for restaurants and retailers, has successfully raised $380,000 in an investment round.
The venture fund AloqaVentures led this round, investing $300,000, while Nexus Club added another $80,000. This investment is the second participation by AloqaVentures in the company; the fund previously invested in Delever in 2024.
Davron Parmonov, a partner at AloqaVentures and Nexus Angel Club, stated that the fund's initial investment was $100,000 during the pre-seed stage. According to Parmonov, the team quickly reached the break-even point and demonstrated growth in seven countries. The fund is now making additional follow-on investments because Delever intends to capture these markets and scale actively. He noted that the team is capable of both developing and selling its product.
The Delever platform integrates all necessary tools for businesses providing delivery services. These tools include order acceptance across all sales channels, integration with delivery aggregators and point-of-sale systems, as well as delivery and courier management.
Currently, the platform is used by over 1,400 restaurants and stores in seven countries, primarily in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. The company plans to use the raised funds for further product development, expanding functionality, and entering new markets.
Co-founder and CEO of Delever, Fakriddin Yusupov, emphasized that restaurants offering delivery do not need numerous separate services, but rather a single integrated system. He also added that AloqaVentures' decision to reinvest was more significant for the company than the amount itself, as the fund had prior knowledge of the business before allocating additional capital.
Delever positions its platform as an operating system for restaurants and retailers with delivery services, consolidating sales channels, orders, aggregators, and delivery management into one interface. The company is registered in IT Park Uzbekistan and participates in Astana Hub, while Delever Ltd. is registered in the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) in Kazakhstan.
