Spreetail Raises $208 Million

Written By Rick Watson

Spreetail serves more than 500 brands, helping them push their e-commerce sales — through analytics, insights and logistics — on large platforms such as  Amazon, Walmart.com and other sites.

Spreetail is what the industry has come to call an eCommerce Marketplace accelerator firm.  What’s an accelerator?  It’s essentially a full-service agency that helps you sell on a marketplace, but instead of being just a normal agency they also issue purchase orders against your inventory.  Pattern is another firm in this space.

I’m a little surprised to see this large a raise, but I’d be even more surprised if I learned later that most of this raise was capital instead of debt.
