Carbon6, a Toronto, Canada-based software suite for the Amazon marketplace that simplifies operational success for online entrepreneurs, raised $66 million in a Series A financing round, including a mixture of equity and venture debt.
The round was led by global multi-stage technology venture capital firm White Star Capital, with participation from Kale Investment Fund, Benevolent Capital, and MidCap Financial.
Carbon6 intends to leverage this investment to build on its international customer base by opening offices in Europe and Asia. The company will also expand to marketplaces beyond Amazon, continuing to provide seamless omnichannel expansion opportunities to online businesses.
Our vision is to become the ecosystem for marketplace entrepreneurs,” says Justin Cobb, CEO of Carbon6. “The Carbon6 experience goes beyond software. We’re developing the connective tissue that millions of sellers need to automate and accelerate their businesses with the support of a broader network of entrepreneurs. We are thrilled to announce this investment and look forward to expanding our platform to serve the Amazon community.”
Carbon6 will have 20+ products by Q1 of 2023, creating an integrated seller experience. With a global network of founders, employees, advisors, and acquired companies, Carbon6 is well positioned to serve its sellers wherever they sell.
