Pioneering online marketplace Notonthehighstreet.com<\/a> has raised \u00a321m in investment from backers including German publishing house Hubert Burda Media<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The funding round (Series E) was led by Burda, one of Europe\u2019s leading media and technology companies, with additional support from existing investors including Index Ventures, Industry Ventures<\/strong> and Eight Roads Ventures.<\/strong> It comes on the back of a 19% growth in year-on-year sales<\/strong> at Notonthehighstreet.com, its tenth consecutive year of double-digit growth.<\/p>\n

CEO Simon Belsham<\/strong> outlined the following priorities for the investment:<\/p>\n

- Further invest in the technology, innovation, marketing and operations to allow the company\u2019s 5,000 strong and growing Partner (seller) community to connect with more customers and scale their businesses using Notonthehighstreet.com\u2019s technology platform<\/p>\n

- \u00a0Continue to build Notonthehighstreet.com\u2019s core gifting offer, expanding categories and developing the customer experience both on and offline<\/p>\n

- \u00a0Open up Partners\u2019 access to new markets, and build the business\u2019 international vision<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The company specialises in giving a platform to\u00a0independent sellers of unusual and quirky items. \"Notonthehighstreet.com was born out of the belief that customers want products that are more thoughtful, unique and personal<\/strong> and that, through technology, we could connect thousands of independent businesses \u2013 the makers of these great products - with customers around the world. This purpose remains even more relevant today in a world where customers are craving something more than the ubiquity of the mass market,\" said Belsham who joined the business from Tesco.com last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinding an investor that shared our vision and could provide strategic support, as well as new funds to support our multi-year growth plan, was key. Burda has a longstanding reputation as an investor in cutting-edge consumer and technology businesses and an international reach that will help us accelerate the potential we see both at home and overseas,\" he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The investment comes as the Kew, Surrey-based company reports its\u00a0sales for the 12 months to 31 March 2016 when sales (or TTV, total transaction value) were up 19%<\/strong>. Underlying EBITDA showed a loss of \u00a31.6m<\/strong>, which was an improvement on the EBITDA loss of \u00a33m for the same period for the previous year.<\/p>\n

As well as Balsam, it also made a number of senior hires during the period including\u00a0Darren Shapland, Chairman; David Phillips, CFO; Hugh Fahy, CTO; and Hannah Webley-Smith, Customer Director.<\/p>\n

Belsham added: \u201cIt has been an incredibly exciting 12 months for Notonthehighstreet.com<\/strong>, marked not only by this new investment but another year of strong growth and several significant senior hires that put strong foundations in place for continued success.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hubert Burda Media currently holds a portfolio of consumer-related digital businesses<\/strong> and has a track record investing in entrepreneurial companies.
