Upper90 CEO and co-founder Billy Libby said: “The e-commerce market has changed dramatically over the last 12 months.

“With less liquidity available to private companies overall and inflation impacting retail margins, it is important for smaller e-commerce aggregators to join forces with market leaders like Razor that have a strong balance sheet, technology platform and proven economies of scale globally.”

In 2022, the company completed the acquisition of Latin America’s e-commerce company VALOREO and factory14, a holding firm that finances, acquires and grows digital brands.

Razor Group co-founder and CEO Tushar Ahluwalia said: “We are pleased to partner with Stryze and Upper90 to further strengthen Razor´s position globally. Receiving substantial new capital in the current macroeconomic context is a strong vote of confidence for Razor and shows that we are on the right track.”
