Retail Zipline takes in $9.6 mln Series A
Summary
Emergence is a renowned venture capital firm focused on early-stage enterprise companies whose portfolio includes Salesforce, Box, Zoom, and others who together have a collective worth exceeding $100 billion. The company offers large and small retailers alike the ability to take operational information like sales promotions, product launches and best practices from HQ – which come from many siloed departments and change rapidly – and structure it in an intuitive and engaging way. “Retail workers are among the 2.7 billion-person-strong portion of the workforce not sitting at a desk that’s been relatively left behind by new forms of tech that don’t address their pain points,” said Santi Subotovsky, General Partner at Emergence. “Retail Zipline is tackling this issue head-on in retail – a notoriously stressful industry – by pioneering products that help store associates get organized, communicate efficiently, and deliver amazing customer experiences. The company’s goal is to improve the lives of one million retail employees by 2025, and the platform is already used by leading brands such as Lush Cosmetics, BevMo!, LEGO, TOMS, Torrid, Lumber Liquidators, and others.
