Sparqle Raises €1.5M to Modernize Delivery
Amsterdam-based startup Sparqle has secured €1.5 million in funding, including support from the European Union, to scale its emission-free delivery infrastructure across Europe.
Founded in 2022 by Tim van Alphen, Ruurd Tjeerdema and Maurice Stam, Sparqle is building a logistics network designed for modern e-commerce. The company connects retailers and online brands with sustainable, emission-free delivery options, powered by proprietary software, a rider app, and a fleet of electric cargo bikes and vehicles that optimize delivery routes.
The startup is already active in the Netherlands, Belgium and France and plans to expand into more European cities. With e-commerce continuing to grow and cities pushing for cleaner logistics, Sparqle aims to combine sustainability, efficiency and customer experience in a sector that many still consider outdated.
This new funding marks an important step in Sparqle’s mission to build the next-generation logistics backbone for e-commerce, while helping reduce the environmental impact of last-mile delivery.
