Instacart said on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, that it has acquired Colombia-based grocery technology firm Instaleap. Financial terms were not disclosed. The deal is designed to help Instacart expand into international markets without having to launch a delivery network in those regions.
Founded in 2019, Instaleap is a global fulfillment solutions platform that helps retailers streamline and scale their online operations. The company reports clients across nearly 30 countries in Latin America, Europe and the Middle East.
Instacart is best known for grocery delivery, but the company has also invested in retail technology and fulfillment services. Because its delivery service is only available in North America, Instaleap’s platform provides a route to international growth that doesn’t require building delivery operations abroad.
Instaleap will initially operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Instacart. Over time, Instacart plans to expand more of its own enterprise technology to Instaleap’s partners.
Instacart’s commerce platform, Storefront Pro, powers the e-commerce operations of more than 380 grocers, including Aldi, Costco, Publix and Sprouts. Its Carrot Ads offering is used by more than 310 retailers to build and scale online and in-store advertising businesses.
Ryan Hamburger, Instacart’s chief commercial officer, said the company sees “a meaningful opportunity to expand internationally through an enterprise-led strategy” and that Instaleap’s technology and retail relationships will “accelerate our international expansion.” Instaleap co-founder and CEO Antonio dos Santos Nunes said the platform was built for the “unique needs of grocery retailers” across international markets and that joining Instacart will help scale its impact with support from a “trusted partner.”
