Washingtoner/10117310

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stackline, a Seattle-based technology company that builds subscription-based ecommerce tools for thousands of the largest consumer brands and retailers, today announced that it has received a $130 million strategic investment from TA Associates, a leading global growth private equity firm. TA's investment comes on the heels of a $50 million investment from the Growth Equity team within Goldman Sachs Asset Management ("Goldman Sachs") in November 2020. Stackline will utilize TA's capital to continue growing the company's product offerings and expanding its global footprint.

Ecommerce is changing the way brands interact with consumers – and Stackline is powering that change by helping companies reach their audience and build loyalty at global scale. The company's ecommerce platform unites real-time data across shopper, marketing, operations and competitive intelligence. It also equips brands with tools to automate and execute ecommerce marketing and operations, spanning the largest online retail platforms. Stackline's products are among the critical resources brands need to succeed given the rapid acceleration of the online retail space.

"Stackline is transforming how brands and retailers – new and old – do business online, and we believe the company is well-positioned to disrupt the retail industry and make a lasting impact in how brands engage consumers," said Jason Mironov, a Managing Director at TA. Amara Suebsaeng, a Principal at TA, added, "We were attracted to Stackline's belief that success in modern business requires intentional partnerships between people, data and breakthrough technology, and we look forward to working with the company's management team to help define Stackline's next chapter in retail."
