This is the VTEX pitch deck to raise $225m series-d in 2020. Note that this is a redacted pitch deck.
About
VTEX is a developer of a cloud-based eCommerce platform used to help companies future-proof their businesses and free them from software updates. It offers an end-to-end omnichannel commerce platform that allows users to increase sales and reduce overhead by uniting with partners, suppliers, and even competitors to eliminate channel conflict to seamlessly serve customers, enabling retailers, brands, and B2B manufacturers to collaborate with third-party suppliers and grow their business by launching their own marketplaces.
Incredibly, VTEX raised $225m less than one year after raising $140m. This was driven by Corona. AÂ total of $365 million in the past 10 months.
The coronavirus crisis led to a surge in e-commerce transactions and subsequently triggered an unexpected spike in traffic on VTEX, the cloud-based e-commerce platform which helps large retailers like Walmart, Coca Cola, and Levis manage and improve their online sales.
“At some point in the middle of February, we started saying, ‘Traffic is growing,'” Amit Shah, VTEX’s chief strategy officer, told Business Insider. “By March, we saw that, essentially across the platform, we were having the level of order volume that you see on Black Friday.”
That momentum drew more investor attention to the 20-year-old company which just raised $225 million in a Series D funding round led by Tiger Global, Lone Pine Capital, Constellation, Endeavour Catalyst and SoftBank.
“Most of that money still sits in the bank,” Shah said. “The company was profitable last year. It’s been profitable this year. And I think what happened is, once investors started to see and figure out that online commerce platforms are actually doing well, we started getting inbound interest from both private equity technology funds and public hedge funds.”
