About
The platform helps from research to ordering and enables buyers to source their food and agriculture items at reasonable prices in more than 150 countries. (The company claims it has amassed more than 1 trillion data points cumulatively.) The Seoul-headquartered company, which currently employs about 600 people, has set up offices in 45 countries across the globe, including in the U.S. and Europe. Tridge said Thursday it has secured $37.2 million (50 billion won) in a Series D funding round at a postmoney valuation of $2.7 billion. Tridge says its valuation has soared in about a year because it has generated revenues in Tridge’s fulfillment service business since September 2021 after raising the Series C round. After paying a higher price for the coal due to the lack of transparency and information, Shin founded Tridge to address this issue. Tridge claims it has 447,786 users today, up from 343,401 users in June 2021.
