He highlighted the strategic partnership with CapitalT and H&M Group Ventures as instrumental in amplifying eComID’s momentum.
Founding Partners at CapitalT, Janneke Niessen, and Eva de Mol, commended eComID’s proactive solution, emphasizing the founding team’s passion, grit, and early traction. They welcomed eComID as the first Swedish member of the CapitalT family.
Nanna Andersen, Chief of H&M Group New Growth and Ventures, expressed delight in extending the partnership with eComID and supporting their mission to address the product returns challenge. She emphasized the potential for a more sustainable era in online shopping with eComID’s innovative technology.
The funding infusion will enable eComID to expand platform capabilities and extend its solution to a broader range of brands, further advancing its mission to transform retail returns and promote sustainable shopping practices.
