2017-06-14
NEW YORK, NY, Technology company that reinvented the way brands and retailers sell and purchase off-price inventory, announced its $22.5M Series B financing round led by B Capital Group.
INTURN, the technology company that reinvented the way brands and retailers sell and purchase off-price inventory, today announced its $22.5 million Series B financing round led by B Capital Group, founded by Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin and Raj Ganguly. The investment will support INTURN's growth globally.
"It's rare to find a company transforming an industry at the scale and adoption rate that INTURN is across both large and small businesses. We're very excited to partner with INTURN to further geographic expansion across all retail categories," said Raj Ganguly, Co-Founder and Partner of B Capital Group. "It's incredible to watch buyers and sellers thoughtfully improve their businesses using INTURN's platform. INTURN is proving to be essential to retail success," said Bryan Ciambella, Principal, B Capital Group.
"B Capital and its partners The Boston Consulting Group bring deep retail technology expertise and the widest global network, which is already accelerating our expansion," said Ronen Lazar, Co-Founder and CEO of INTURN. "This is a strong signal to the entire industry that innovation to the management and monetization of inventory is critical in this evolving market."
With this announcement, INTURN has raised $36 million to date through a notable line of investors including investments from Beanstalk Ventures, Novel TMT Ventures, the technology investment arm of Silas Chou and his family; Forerunner Ventures; Lerer Hippeau Ventures; Benvolio Group, the investment arm of Lew Frankfort, Chairman Emeritus, Coach, and his family; and Shuco LLC, an investment arm of Stanley S. Shuman, who all participated in the latest round.
Since its founding in 2013, INTURN has quickly gained the trust of the world's leading brands and retailers to better manage the buying and selling of excess inventory through a robust B2B exchange. This funding round comes during a period of rapid growth for the Company with INTURN's vast network of buyers and sellers spanning over 40 countries worldwide, with an estimated $500 million of product available on the platform today ready to be sold through privately controlled offerings. Prior to INTURN, retailers and brands had relied primarily on manual tools and processes, which resulted in the inability of off-price buyers to see and evaluate the inventory they wanted to buy and billions of dollars in lost revenue.
