Nicolas d'Audiffret co-founded A Little Market with Nicolas Cohen. In November 2019 the two joined Pierre-Louis Lacoste and Mathieu Alengrin, a former head engineer at Vestiaire Collective, to found Ankorstore in Paris.
Ankorstore lets a small shop order from many brands with a €100 minimum, free shipping and payment terms. That replaced the several-thousand-euro minimum of typical wholesale.
The company raised about €6 million in seed funding in 2019 and 2020 from Alven and Global Founders Capital. Index Ventures led a €25 million Series A in late 2020.
In January 2022 a Tiger Global-led Series C raised €250 million at a valuation of €1.75 billion. Ankorstore then served more than 200,000 retailers and 15,000 brands in 23 European countries.
