Delever Raises US$380,000 for Seven-Country Delivery Push

By Olivia Hart

Uzbek startup Delever raised US$380,000 in an investment round led by venture fund AloqaVentures, according to UzDaily.uz. AloqaVentures committed US$300,000, while Nexus Club contributed US$80,000. The round extends an investor relationship that began in 2024, when AloqaVentures first backed Delever.

Delever develops a B2B SaaS platform for restaurants and retailers that offer delivery. Its tools accept orders across all sales channels, integrate delivery aggregators and cash-register systems, and manage delivery and courier work.

CEO Fakhriddin Yusupov said: “restaurants offering delivery did not need a dozen separate services but rather a single integrated system.” He also said AloqaVentures’ decision to reinvest mattered more than the amount raised because the fund had first-hand knowledge of Delever before committing more capital.

What does the financing reveal?

The current investment is AloqaVentures’ second commitment to Delever. Davron Parmonov, a partner at AloqaVentures and Nexus Angel Club, said the fund initially invested US$100,000 at the pre-seed stage. The new US$300,000 investment is triple that earlier commitment.

No valuation, revenue multiple or other financing terms appeared in UzDaily.uz’s report. Parmonov said the follow-on capital would support Delever’s plans to capture seven-country markets and scale up aggressively, but the announcement set no financial or operating milestones.

UzDaily.uz names Nexus Club as the US$80,000 investor while identifying Parmonov as a partner at AloqaVentures and Nexus Angel Club. The report does not explain whether Nexus Club and Nexus Angel Club are the same legal entity. In short, this is a follow-on financing with strong investor continuity but incomplete deal disclosure.

How credible are the growth claims?

More than 1,400 restaurants and stores across seven countries currently use Delever, with its footprint concentrated primarily in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, according to UzDaily.uz. The source provided no prior customer total, country breakdown or customer additions, so readers cannot measure the reported growth from the disclosed data.

Parmonov said the team “quickly reached break-even” and had demonstrated growth across seven countries. He also said the team could both develop and sell its product, but he did not identify a revenue base, the date of break-even or the metric behind that growth.

Neither Parmonov’s statement nor UzDaily.uz supplied revenue, margin, churn, cohort or customer-retention figures. Break-even therefore remains an investor assertion rather than a financial result readers can audit. The user count supports adoption, while the profitability claim still lacks the detail needed for verification.

What does Delever actually sell?

Delever describes its platform as an operating system for restaurants and retailers with delivery services. According to the company’s description in UzDaily.uz, it brings sales channels, orders, aggregators and delivery management into one interface.

The product scope centers on consolidating functions that Yusupov says restaurants otherwise obtain through multiple services. That addresses a defined operational problem, although the announcement offers no evidence about how deeply customers depend on the platform or whether consolidation improves their costs.

The report disclosed no pricing, average revenue per customer, retention rate, integration count, delivery volume or implementation time. “Operating system” remains a positioning claim rather than a measured market position. The product solves a clear workflow problem, but customer reliance and commercial performance remain unmeasured.

Where will the US$380,000 go?

Delever plans to use the new funding to develop its product, expand its functionality and enter additional markets, according to UzDaily.uz. The company did not assign amounts to those workstreams, name target countries or set a deployment schedule. No hiring or revenue targets accompanied the announcement.

Delever is a resident of IT Park Uzbekistan and a participant in Astana Hub. Delever Ltd. is registered with the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC) in Kazakhstan. The report does not explain how the three affiliations relate in the corporate structure.

Yusupov’s emphasis on AloqaVentures’ first-hand knowledge provides a signal of diligence, but it does not replace the missing operating data. The next test is whether Delever reports revenue, customer additions, named target markets and a timetable for the US$380,000. Until then, the round shows continued investor conviction, not measurable acceleration in the business.
