Fashion outlet Otrium raises €24 million

Otrium, an online fashion outlet platform from the Netherlands, has raised 24 million euros. This happened during a series B round, led by Eight Roads Ventures and current investor Index Ventures. With the money, Otrium wants to further expand its platform.

Fashion brands sell their excess inventory

Otrium is only a few years old and has now raised a total of 33 million euros. The idea behind the startup is that fashion brands can still earn money by selling excess inventory. Through the online platform consumers get access to the leftover stock of upcoming and well-known fashion brands.

Connected brands gain insight into the sales process, while Otrium offers smart pricing tools to stimulate sales of the clothing and accessories. In addition, the platform also takes care of all storage and shipping for the affiliated fashion brands.
