RealReal founder and CEO Julie Wainwright was quoted by the website as stating that the company’s current valuation is not lower than it was in the previous round of investment.
The firm initially intended to wait until next year to raise investment before eventually planning for an IPO. However, it decided to raise the investment now due to the uncertain nature of the investment market.
