US VC Tiger Global’s European startup shopping spree continues, giving Europe’s third largest tech ecosystem its largest Series B raise in 2021 and second largest ever.
Paris-based Ankorstore raised $100m (€82m) in new funding on Monday, led by Tiger Global and Bain Capital Ventures, to expand its online marketplace selling brands to independent shops. It’s the 14th investment for Tiger in Europe in 2021, as tracked by Dealroom.
The investment follows the Ankorstore’s Series A round in December last year, where it raised €25m.
