Trucks that are meant to deliver consignment usually ply empty on their way back. This not only makes transportation expensive but also leaves an impact on the environment due to additional CO2 emission. Amsterdam-based startup Brenger wants to put an end to these issues by paving the way for an easier, cheaper and more sustainable transportation of goods that will, in turn, leave a better environment behind.
Founded in 2016 by Wisse Koedam and Derk van der Have, the delivery startup helps people transport goods through trucks, vans or cars that ply in a specific route. Moreover, the deliverer gets paid for each consignment. This move not only all the delivery vehicles are used efficiently but also the CO2 emission is reduced to a great extent.
In a recent development, Brenger has raised €950,000 growth capital from its current angel investors. With this investment, the overall growth capital raised by the delivery startup is almost €2 million.
Rolf Bixner, a former BCG partner, invests through his investment fund Tablomonto in Brenger said, “What appeals to us as Tablomonto is the team: two young, passionate men who continuously improve their company, product and organiszation and face all challenges with a positive mindset. The Brenger product is becoming simpler for the consumer while the service improves. This is reflected in the positive reactions and loyalty of the users. We are very confident that Brenger will not only be successful in the Netherlands, but also in other countries.”
