SellerX extends financing round with a volume of EUR 26 million


Berlin – While working at SMP, members of the YPOG Team again advised startup SellerX in the course of a capital increase. The total volume of the extended financing round amounts to approximately EUR 26 million and was raised from lead investor 83North as well as existing investors Felix Capital, Cherry Ventures and other well-known business angels. Just a few months ago, SellerX announced the successful closing of a EUR 100 million equity and debt financing led by Silicon Valley-based VC TriplePoint Capital, among others. By now, the Berlin-based company has bought up around 20 Amazon shops. It says that it plans to use the fresh capital to further expand its operating business. At least 50 more shops are to follow in the next one and a half years. SellerX received comprehensive legal advice from Martin Schaper together with Martyna Sabat and Matthias Kresser. The team had already provided legal advice to the FBA buyer on the previous financing in late 2020 and also worked closely with Tomasz Krzywicki, general counsel of SellerX, on this transaction.
