That's a pretty big valuation leap from June, when the company raised $44 million at a valuation of $400 million.

Instacart, which launched two years ago, currently delivers groceries in about an hour to people in 10 different cities, with a delivery fee of $3.99. It's one of several startups trying to tackle the same-day delivery space, including New York-based WunWun.
