Welcome to Razor Group 2.0. I am thrilled to announce Razor Group's acquisition of Perch, the leading US Aggregator, and the close of our Series D funding round, led by Presight Capital. Razor Group’s acquisition of Perch marks an inflection point for our industry and makes us the undisputable #1 player in our industry globally. Razor Group now operates a catalogue of roughly 40,000 products, across 3 continents, 10+ countries and 30+ channels, paving the way for a $1bn top-line business. Needless to say, the ZIRP & post-COVID era had a profound impact on the aggregator space, creating the perfect storm for our company. Razor Group had the strategic foresight to capitalise on the tectonic shifts in consumer and financial markets in 2022 by focusing on industry consolidation rather than incremental roll-up of micro merchants; following the consolidation of Factory14, Valoreo, The Strye Group, this strategy is now culminating in the consolidation of Perch. In contrast to our peers, our focus has been to build the Western response to Chinese vertical C2M models like Temu and Shein, rather than an internet version of P&G. Therefore, our secret sauce has been to invest in sophisticated technology automation to ensure deep supply-chain integration and hyper-fast product innovation cycles right from the start, a prerequisite to making the model work and seeing us develop the industry's leading automation stack. Our differentiated strategy and resulting technology stack is reflective in materially better capital efficiency vs our peers. With the ongoing advancements in AI and LLMs, that work continues. As part of this transaction we are thrilled to welcome Nithya Grande, former SVP Growth at Perch, as Chief Commercial Officer at Razor Group.
