Scurri in a hurry as online shopping space booms
Irish e-commerce venture Scurri has announced a €1.5 million investment round.
This involved existing investors and associates including Act Venture Capital, Episode 1 and Pa Nolan and brings the company’s total funding to €8.5 million.
Scurri’s SaaS platform aims to connect and optimise the e-commerce ordering, shipping and delivery process. The latest funding will support its growth plans, including hires across engineering, product, support, sales and marketing
CEO and Founder of Scurri, Rory O’Connor says: “We have very ambitious plans for the company in the next 12 months. For the past seven years, we have gone from strength to strength, from startup to full service software solutions provider with a growing list of blue chip and fast growth companies in the sophisticated and fragmented UK e-commerce market.”
“Contrary to the slowed growth in other sectors as a result of the pandemic, e-commerce is booming. The market for Scurri has now greatly increased and is years ahead of where it would have been pre-Covid. We are in a very fortunate position and excited about what the next 12 months will bring.”
John O’Sullivan, General Partner, Act Venture Capital, comments: “E-commerce scale needs a seamless experience - product choice, UI, checkout, tailored delivery and confidence in returns - all need to work brilliantly.”
“Scurri’s SaaS platform underpins the delivery experience for many of the fastest growing independent e-commerce brands that are redefining their categories. The team has built a great platform.”
