History
TradeGecko was launched in 2013 by Carl Thompson and brothers Cameron and Bradley Priest, three New Zealanders.
Thompson, who ran the label Crowded Elevator, saw the need for a solution in managing inventory administration and made the decision to create one.
"Running my clothing label was exciting and I enjoyed it a lot. But we grew very fast and the amount of administration quickly overwhelmed us. I couldn’t find a solution to pull it all together. Spreadsheets and manual data processing turned into an absolute nightmare," he said.
The trio went through the JFDI.Asia Accelerate program before going on to raise a round of financing through from Singapore-based investors. In April 2015, TradeGecko raised $6.5 million series A round led by NSI Ventures and Jungle Ventures.
