ABN AMRO announces financing Crisp

Crisp, recently named Best Online Supermarket 2025 by research agency YouGov, sees this financing as a significant boost for further growth. Crisp is also freeing up capital for strategic investments in product range depth, supply chain technology, and further AI rollout.

Supporting technological development

“In recent years, Crisp has developed a distinctive vision and a unique and sustainable model,” says Dan Dorner, Chief Commercial Officer Corporate Banking and member of the Executive Board at ABN AMRO. “Through this collaboration, ABN AMRO is supporting the company’s technological transition to a local and seasonal food chain, which ties in with ABN AMRO’s ambition to encourage innovative solutions that create social impact.”

B-corp and sustainability

“Crisp’s mission to make the food system healthy again aligns well with ABN AMRO’s sustainability ambition. As the first certified B-Corp supermarket in Europe, sustainability is integrated into every aspect of its business operations. We look forward to further collaboration with this next-generation food retailer,” adds Lisette Beenders, Senior Corporate Banker Corporate Clients at ABN AMRO.

Long-term vision and healthy growth

Since its launch in 2018, Crisp has committed to a future-proof food system by making local and seasonal products from small-scale producers accessible to ta wider audience. The company’s grocery app has been profitable in the Dutch market since June 2024 and it expects to achieve the same result later this year in Belgium, where Crisp has been active since 2022. “In the current economic climate, many scale-ups are forced to seek support beyond national borders,” says Tom Peeters, CEO and co-founder of Crisp. “In addition to a strong base of Dutch investors, we now have a partnership with a leading Dutch bank. We are currently showing solid double-digit growth, our costs are under control, and customer satisfaction is extremely high. That is not a given in this challenging sector.”
