Show notes
The eCommerce UnderCover research team did a report on which companies have announced fundraising in the eCommerce space globally in the 6 months from September 2021 to March 2022.
Pu Yuming, our amazing eCommerce UnderCover intern that put this report together, joined us on the show to discuss this in detail.
No less than USD $20BN has been invested in eCommerce-related companies in the past 6 months, more than 2.5 times the amount that was announced in the first 6 months of 2021. Yuming broke this down into 8 categories including:
- Back-end Operations
- Buying and Scaling Brands
- Conversational Commerce
- Financing and Payments
- Marketplaces
- Social Commerce
- DTC (Direct to Consumer) Websites
- Tools and Features
