ShippyPro raises $15 Million to revolutionise shipping for global brands
ShippyPro announces a $15m capital round by US-based Five Elms Capital, one of the largest B-rounds in the Italian market in 2023 and the largest in the SaaS industry.
After a first Series A round in 2021, it is time to further accelerate the company's international expansion (currently active in more than 36 countries worldwide).
"The new resources - exclusively dedicated to growth - arrive to help us in our mission to become the global infrastructure for omnichannel logistics, and will be allocated to the opening of new offices abroad to speed up our expansion, as well as to the growth of the technology hub in Florence, which already represents one of the largest tech hubs in Italy." (Francesco Borghi, CEO).
