Eurosender is a booking engine for shipping services that buys bulk capacity from logistics firms such as DHL and DPD and partners with national postal agencies to provide door‑to‑door delivery across 30 European markets. The platform aggregates demand, assigns couriers based on price, provides fixed prices that do not increase during booking, and offers tracking and insurance up to €200. It handles parcels, packages, freight transport, luggage, sporting equipment and other goods, and plans to move toward cargo and container services in the short term. Founded three years ago, the business is headquartered in London with offices in Slovenia and Germany. The company reports several hundred Irish companies registered and using its delivery service daily and growing traffic on routes to and from Sweden, Germany, Portugal and the UK. Eurosender has raised some €700,000 to fund its expansion. Eurosender is an online shipping platform that negotiated partnerships with major European couriers (UPS, DPD, GLS, ACS, DB Schenker, etc.) to offer shipping rates up to 70% lower than standard fares. Launched in May 2014 by founders Jan, Tim and Žiga in Slovenia, the company expanded from serving students and expats to include B2B customers. Eurosender participated in the ProSiebenSat 1 accelerator in Munich, which helped it secure pre-seed investments of €25K from ProSiebenSat 1 and €40K from Silicon Gardens. It recently closed a €220K seed round at a €3.6 million valuation from a consortium of Slovenian entrepreneurs. With the new capital the company plans integrations and partnerships—specifically shipping plug-ins with marketplace Markt.de and online organiser itembase—to scale its European marketplace presence. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
