Speaking about the fundraise, Kunal Sharma, Founder and CEO of Flipspaces, said, "Flipspaces is at the cusp of becoming a market-defining venture. On one hand, leveraged by our tech-suite for Interior design, our US vertical has grown 25X in the last four quarters and is now profitable at the EBITDA level. One the other hand, the first third-party SaaS product from the Flipspaces stable meant for furniture and furnishing brands, retailers and SMBs has seen fantastic initial response.
"We are getting close to our vision of becoming the Zoho for Interior Design and Build domain which is a $1 trillion-plus market globally.”
Mumbai-based Flipspaces was founded in July 2015 by IIT alumni Kunal and Ankur Mucchal. Flipspaces has also recently launched a B2B SaaS vertical called Vizstore, which allows furniture and furnishing brands and retailers to virtualise their showroom experience, thereby heavily cutting costs of real estate for visual merchandising of products.
“We have been impressed by the capital efficiency of the team, their vision for technology to drive transformation in all aspects of the design and build domain, and the strong and diverse founding team. These factors have been key to our decision of investing in the business,” said Prashasta Seth, representative of the investing consortium.
