Notable numbers in and of themselves, but especially significant in light of the difficult market conditions. Huboo highlights two critical aspects of delivery: a roughly half reduction in overhead and a streamlined set of prices.

Huboo CEO and co-founder Martin Bysh shared: “Our team has worked incredibly hard over the last 12 months to maintain our growth trajectory despite a poor macro outlook for e-commerce, introducing new services, like introducing automation for enterprise clients, to enhance our customers’ experience and sustain our mission to revolutionise, simplify and transform e-commerce fulfilment.”

Ada Ventures partner Matt Penneycard adds: “Never in my career in VC have I seen an investment opportunity with the scale prospects of Huboo. Ada Ventures invested in the first round, and every round since, because we saw the opportunity to mix state-of-the-art technology with operational know-how in a sector that had yet to be digitised. The upside is effectively unlimited here, and the team has more than justified all of our faith since that first investment.”
