Looking forward
The company was founded in 2016 by Ido Leffler and Sharkey, it launched in July 2017.
As for what they’ll do with the new funding, Leffler and Sharkey wrote that they plan on using the money to keep pushing towards their vision of changing how people consume by offering a curated selection of goods at low prices.
“In SoftBank, we found partners who truly believe that Brandless is a new kind of company. One that is built for profit & purpose; a community that believes better should not cost more,” the duo writes in a company blog post. “We can invest more in data science and technology and create even more products and categories inspired by YOU.”
