How Gorillas became a unicorn

I liked Gorillas when I first came across the German grocery home delivery company in May 2020, and have been following its progress ever since: yesterday it announced a $290 million funding round that attracted, among others, the Chinese giant Tencent, which elevates it to the status of a unicorn, with a valuation already above $1 billion. In December, it raised a $44 million Series A funding.
