“Now that have laid some solid foundations for the business and proven the brand and concept works, we want to push on with aggressive growth and customer acquisition. Having smart investors for the journey makes perfect sense. The business is on trend and working with the genuine investor crowd can be great for new brand ambassadors.”

The company also revealed that with the new capital it plans to increase the number of corporate customers, and to double the amount of sellers on the marketplace by the end of the year. The breakdown of funds is shown below:
