Today, I’m proud to announce that Lightspeed has raised US$61million (CA$80 million) in a new round of funding. This is a pivotal milestone towards building and scaling our infrastructure, expanding our eCommerce offerings, and supporting our increasingly global customer base.
Independent retailers and restaurants bring neighborhoods to life, and it’s why we work hard to offer a superior solution that gives entrepreneurs valuable tools to help manage and grow a business.
As a Canadian company based in Montreal, local support is paramount. We’re thrilled to welcome Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ) and Investissement Québec (IQ) to the Lightspeed family. We’re also tremendously grateful to our existing investors, Accel Partners and iNovia Capital, for sharing in our vision. Canada is an inspiring place to start and grow a company: with the impressive pool of talent and endless opportunities, we couldn’t be prouder to be Canadian.
Above all, we would like to thank the lifeblood of our company – our customers – for your loyalty over the years and for pushing us to continuously improve. You are a truly passionate group of entrepreneurs that have been phenomenal to work with. We are beyond appreciative of your business and will continue to be there with you as you grow and bring life to neighborhoods around the world.
