EXIT: Superangel & United Angels (now Specialist VC) portfolio company Parcelsea has been acquired by JetBeep
ParcelSea offers a personal smart mailbox that allows for secure, contactless reception of packages from any courier service. It was founded in 2020 by Andres Sampka and Indrek Jurgenson.
This acquisition marks an exciting new chapter for Parcelsea, whose mission to revolutionize last-mile delivery has made home deliveries more efficient, convenient, and accessible. From pioneering personal household-based parcel lockers to launching community lockers with Omniva, the team has established a unique product portfolio for last-mile distribution.
Their expertise and IP align well with JetBeep's ambitions, making this acquisition a natural next step toward scaling the last-mile delivery networks in Europe and beyond. As a result of the deal, JetBeep will acquire the startup's intellectual property and customer contracts, while the Parcelsea team will become part of the new owner.
"We have been using Jetbeep electronics in our community parcel lockers for over a year. It was a logical step for us to join forces to grow faster. In addition, JetBeep was interested in Parcelsea's experience and expertise in building Close-To-Home parcel locker networks." co-founder Andres Sampka explains the reasons for the sale. Together, they will continue to develop Close-To-Home parcel locker networks in Europe and potentially in other regions.
“As we expand our open network, this acquisition is a crucial milestone, directly addressing key hardware challenges. The Community Locker developed by Parselsea offers a unique and innovative design solution, striking the perfect balance between proximity to the customer and operational efficiency for carriers. We believe this gives us a significant competitive edge and brings us closer to achieving our strategic goals. Additionally, we’re thrilled about the strategic partnership with Omniva, which further strengthens our position in the market” added Valery Chekalkin, the co-founder of JetBeep.
