Jake Heller, Co-head of KKR’s Technology Growth team in the Americas, said: “Our goal is to assemble a portfolio of world class entrepreneurs and management teams and then work as hard as we can to support them. “We are excited to welcome KKR as a new investor and look forward to working alongside their team who brings decades of experience building leading global companies.” “Being able to drive business online is now essential to the success of local restaurants and this new funding will allow us to continue improving Slice’s platform to empower more independent pizza shops around the world,” said Ilir Sela, founder and CEO of Slice.
This new capital will be used to enhance and scale Slice’s platform of services, which today powers over 12,000 pizzerias across all 50 states. These capabilities have proven essential with the surge in demand for pickup and delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Slice’s platform of services powers the online discovery and ordering for these small businesses and connects them to a large network of new and existing customers who enjoy a frictionless experience through the Slice app and website. Local pizzerias have long been at the heart of our communities, but they lack the resources to compete with large chains for today’s digitally-minded consumers. KKR led the round with participation from existing early investors, including GGV Capital.
