(TechCrunch) – Just over five months after securing $50 million in debt & equity, Valoreo has closed on a $30 million Series A funding round.
Mexico City-based Valoreo aims to invest in, operate and scale e-commerce brands as part of its self-described mission “to bring better products at more affordable prices” to the Latin American consumer.
