Zilingo to pump $136m into digitising US operations

The startup opened offices in New York and Los Angeles earlier in 2019.

Fashion startup Zilingo will invest $136m (US$100m) across the United States in a bid to digitise its supply chain, according to a press release.

The investment will cover hiring sales and product teams. Back in the summer, Zilingo opened offices in New York and Los Angeles.

Zilingo implements technology to revitalise the supply chain, including software for merchants, data science for predicting fashion trends, financial services, sustainability and compliance.

The investment is part of a company strategy to expand to Australia, Europe and Middle East.

In April, Zilingo raised $307.6m (US$226m) in Series D founding, bringing the total amount raised to $419m (US$308m). Key investors included Sequoia Capital, Temasek Holdings, Burda Principal Investments, and EDBI.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
