LEHI, Utah–Jane, a curated online marketplace for boutique sellers and stylish, value-conscious consumers who love to shop for quality clothing and home products, today announced a $40 million growth investment from Tritium Partners. Tritium is a growth-focused private equity firm whose principals have extensive experience building online marketplaces, including Vrbo and RetailMeNot. This financing, Jane’s first since its founding, will accelerate the e-commerce retailer’s already exceptional growth and support its aggressive plans to expand the Jane brand.
Under the recent leadership of veteran marketplace executive Taleeb Noormohamed, Jane has become a highly-curated, go-to source for fashion, home décor and other stylish products. Jane’s loyal user base has purchased more than $1 billion of goods through its marketplace and its skyrocketing growth has earned it a place on the Inc. 5000 list six times as one of the fastest-growing privately held companies. Tritium’s investment will be used to further build out Jane’s growing platform, enabling the company to provide an even more personalized customer experience with category expansions and geographic growth along with powerful new features for its boutique sellers.
“Our strategy is clear. We offer relevant, fashion-conscious products to women and their families in an online, curated marketplace,” said Jane CEO Noormohamed. “Now, as we partner with Tritium and embark on the next phase of our journey, we are focused on building Jane into a global, household brand as we expand our services to reach more customers and empower more small boutique merchants around the world.”
In the face of difficult retail conditions, Jane continues to thrive by providing a more curated customer experience that meets the evolving needs of consumers with an expanding set of product categories, all at attractive prices. Jane’s momentum grew throughout 2020, regularly exceeding 80% growth and breaking daily sales records.
“Jane’s exceptional curation for their consumers makes the brand unique and appealing to its many stylish – but value-conscious – customers,” said Matt Bowman, Managing Partner of Tritium Partners. “We see significant potential for Jane in a market where consumers are rallying behind small businesses and looking for more personalized experiences. We are thrilled to partner with Jane to further enhance their category offerings, geographic reach, and marketplace features.”
“We built Jane as a way to empower small businesses to reach an active community of shoppers who love boutique apparel and home décor. As we grow, we are so grateful for the support that we receive from customers and sellers alike,” said founders Mike and Megan McEwan. “Today, we are very excited to partner with Tritium, given their deep marketplace experience, as we look to expand Jane’s awareness and brand.”
