Everli Global Inc., the holding company for Italian online grocery marketplace Everli S.p.A., has secured a $10 million loan facility tied to its previously announced business combination agreement with Melar Acquisition Corp I (MACI), providing additional capital as the company moves toward an expected public debut in the first quarter of 2026.
The financing, disclosed on December 10, follows the signing of a business combination agreement between Everli Global Inc., a Palella Holdings company, and Melar Acquisition Group I in the third quarter of 2025. The new capital is expected to support Everli’s continued expansion across Italy, investment in technology, and efforts to deepen partnerships with grocery retailers.

The company’s strategy has emphasized building share in core geographies, increasing basket sizes, expanding product assortment, and enhancing operational efficiency, while also pursuing additional collaborations with leading retailers across Europe.
Founded in 2014, Everli operates a home delivery grocery marketplace in Italy, positioning its service around convenience and time savings for consumers. Beyond delivery, the company also provides data analytics and market research services to large retailers and FMCG brands, leveraging platform activity and consumer purchasing behavior to inform commercial decisions.
