Rotterdam-based Ciloo, a B2B SaaS company, announced on Thursday that it has secured its first funding led by Alliance VC. However, the company didn’t disclose the exact funding figures.
The Dutch company will use the funds to fuel its mission to transform internal eCommerce for global enterprises.
“Securing funding marks a significant milestone for Ciloo. It validates our vision and sets the stage for our next phase of growth,” says Richard Benesti, CEO of Ciloo.
“Our platform is not just a tool; it’s a catalyst for change, enabling enterprises to adopt more sustainable practices without compromising efficiency or brand integrity,” adds Benesti.
Why Ciloo?
Large companies invest millions in internal eCommerce to support activities such as employer branding, sales and marketing, recruitment, loyalty programs, and corporate branding.
The challenge is that without a global platform, companies end up shipping branded products across the world.
