Adore Me (www.adoreme.com), the world’s first personalized online lingerie club for women, announces closing of its second round of venture capital financing, raising $2.5 million from Redhills Ventures, Jaina Capital, Ventech Capital, and other active US angels.
“Growth for the company is currently at 50% per month since beta launch in November 2011. Additionally, Adore Me is set to expand beyond lingerie and into the swimwear category. With these additions, this round of funding is perfectly timed to grow our company,” states Adore Me Co-Founder and CEO Morgan Hermand-Waiche.
Each Adore Me member is offered a complimentary style consultation and receives access to a private showroom handpicked by expert stylists. The showroom turns over once a month, ensuring there are always new and stylish pieces available for purchase. The lingerie and swimwear pieces are inspired by world designs, bringing the best in French, UK, US and Brazilian fashion straight to the Adore Me virtual showrooms.
US based Redhills Ventures saw in Adore Me an outstanding management team, with the ability to successfully execute on its vision and business plan. European based Jaina Capital and Ventech Capital, two funds that specialize in Internet, information technology, communications technology, and environment startups, see the opportunity to provide Adore Me with the invaluable insights these firms have gained in this very competitive industry. They all look forward to helping Adore Me become the leader in its chosen field.
