“With this new funding, we’re poised to continue our strategy of acquiring top providers from across the e-commerce value chain while staying hyper-focused on meeting the evolving needs of the brands we serve.”
Founded in 2020, Cart.com saw its revenue grow by more than 400% in the first quarter of this year.
With this funding round, the company has raised a total of $380m in capital to date.
The funding comes after Cart.com acquired direct-to-consumer (DTC) and business-to-business (B2B) fulfilment and customer care provider FB Flurry and software-as-a-service (SaaS) multichannel e-commerce tool provider SellerActive.
By acquiring FB Flurry, the company aims to allow brands to offer inexpensive two-day delivery options to most areas of the US.
Legacy Knight chief operating officer and managing partner David Sawyer said: “What Omair and the team at Cart.com have accomplished in the last 14 months is nothing short of remarkable.
“They have proven they have the ability to rapidly execute on their vision of building the first fully end-to-end e-commerce platform at massive scale.”
“Cart.com is the shining example of the world-class innovation occurring in Texas right now and Legacy Knight is thrilled to support them.”
