Today Raena reported it has raised a Series An of $9 million, co-drove by Alpha Wave Incubation and Alpha JWC Ventures, with interest from AC Ventures and returning financial backers Beenext, Beenos, and Strive. Its last subsidizing declaration was a $1.82 million seed round reported in July 2019.

Raena’s history and how it started

Raena was established in 2019 to make personal care brands with top online media influencers. After a few dispatches, be that as it may, the Singapore-based startup saw an intriguing pattern: clients were requesting groups of items from Raena consistently and exchanging them via web-based media and online business stages like Shopee and Tokopedia.

In the wake of meeting individuals who had set up online stores with items from Raena, the organization’s group understood that merchants’ profit potential was covered because they were following through on retail costs for their stock.

They likewise saw that although new C2C retail models, similar to social trade, are acquiring prominence, the magnificence of the business’ inventory network hasn’t kept up. Dealers normally need to arrange the least amounts, which makes it harder for individuals to begin their organizations, Raena’s fellow benefactor Sreejita Deb told TechCrunch.

Raena chose to rotate to serve those business visionaries. The organization gives an inventory that incorporates generally Japanese and Korean skincare and excellence brands. For those brands, Raena addresses an approach to enter new business sectors like Indonesia, which the startup gauges have a $20 billion market opportunity.

The business model that helps Raena

Raena affiliates, who are for the most part ladies between 18 to 34-years of age in Indonesia and Malaysia, pick what things they need to highlight on their online media accounts. Most use TikTok or Instagram for advancement and set up online stores on Shopee or Tokopedia. Be that as it may, they don’t need to convey stock. At the point when someone purchases an item from a Raena affiliate, the affiliate orders it from Raena, which ships it straightforwardly to the client.

This outsourcing model methods affiliates make higher edges. Since they don’t need to purchase their stock, it additionally significantly brings the boundary down to dispatching an independent company. Although Raena’s rotation to social business harmonized with the COVID-19 pandemic, Deb said it developed its income multiple times between January and December 2020. The stage presently has over 1,500 affiliates and claims a 60% vendor consistency standard following a half year on the stage.

Raena additionally profited by its emphasis on skincare. Although numerous retail classifications, including shading makeup, endured a shot, skincare items demonstrated toughness.

Social trade, which permits individuals to procure side pay (or even full-time pay), by utilizing their online media networks, has taken off in a few Asian business sectors. In China, for instance, Pinduoduo has become a considerable adversary to Alibaba through its gathering selling model and spotlight on new products. In India, Meesho affiliates sell items like apparel through web-based media stages including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram.

Social trade is likewise acquiring footing in Southeast Asia, with net product esteem becoming triple during the primary portion of 2020, as indicated by iKala.

Deb said one of the manners in which Raena is not the same as other social trade organizations is that the majority of its affiliates are offering to clients they don’t have the foggiest idea, rather than loved ones. Numerous generally had TikTok or Instagram profiles zeroed in on magnificence and skincare and had gained notoriety for being learned about items.
