Threecolts raises $90M to build out its toolkit for third parties selling on marketplaces like Amazon

▤ Summary

Threecolts, a London startup founded by an ex-Amazon exec that builds software for brands and retailers to manage their Amazon sales channel, has picked up some 22,000 customers since it first set up shop in 2021. Yoda Yee, Threecolts founder and CEO, would not disclose how much was invested in each of these areas, citing competitive advantage and the fact that there have been a number of others, like Brex, that are paving the way for being less precise when discussing how much and when financing events have taken place, because it provides too much signal to rivals. It is not the only startup thats aiming to address this opportunity: The inherent conflict that Yee points out has spurred the rise of a number of companies building tools for third-party sellers, and these compete with Threecolts. Yee said that Amazon accounts for the vast proportion, 90%, of where its customers currently sell, but he added that it is seeing some activity in requesting tools to cover other marketplaces like Walmart, eBay or more localized or vertically focused sites. Yee said that the likes of WhatsApp and Instagram do come up in conversations, but its more to do with them as customer support channels, he said.Crossbeam has carved out a niche in investing in e-commerce startups, specifically those that cater to businesses (which can be brands, retailers or even influencers) that run their businesses online and via marketplaces, so its a natural fit as a backer for Threecolts, and Sakib Jamal, the senior investment associate who lead on the deal, told TechCrunch the firm was very excited by the startup and opportunity.Threecolts impressive execution over the past year means that sellers can now access a one-stop shop solution for an increasing number of pain points, easing vendor fatigue and administrative loads, he added in a statement.
