BigCommerce establishes presence in Europe

US venture, BigCommerce, will open its first European office in London during Q3 2018. 

The company, which powers e-commerce sites for Sony, Ben & Jerry’s, Toyota and 60,000 other merchants, also has a presence in North America and Asia Pacific. It recently raised $64 million in a round led by Goldman Sachs, with participation from General Catalyst, GGV Capital and Tenaya Capital. That brought BigCommerce’s total funding to more than $200 million since it was founded in 2009.

“We serve a growing, international community of retailers, and we want to provide the best possible service to all of our customers,” says Brent Bellm, CEO at BigCommerce. “Establishing a presence in Europe has long been an aspiration of ours, and this London office will allow us to deliver more tailored programmes and service to our customers and partners around the world.”
