THE MONEY
$413.2M TOTAL RAISED FOR JANUARY
Much of January was spent reflecting on
the successes of 2013, with billion dollar
valuations and global expansions across
the industry, but that doesn’t mean that
the month wasn’t exciting in it’s own
right. With over $400 million invested
this month in 16 companies ranging
from re-commerce to razor blades,
fashion tech got off to a solid start in
2014. Of the 16 funding rounds that we
tracked, six hail from outside the US and
account for $133.7M of that investment.
Even more impressive is that our top
funding round was an NYC-based
company that nearly matched that
amount, ironically, to buy a German
company.
So where did all that money go?
