FREMONT, CA: Localised, an NYC-based ecommerce startup that helps local brands expand globally, raised $6.5m in Series A round of financing. The funding round was led by BGF, and Peter Jones, the leading entrepreneur in the UK and Ireland.
The company plans to use the capital to expand their business into the world’s top 20 ecommerce markets, across Americas, Europe, Middle East, and the rest of Asia, and to accelerate innovation in areas such as global pricing syndication, localised merchandising, and global CRM, while also expanding into new verticals.

Peter Jones said: “Localised is an exciting business with an innovative offering, being delivered by an exceptional team. This new partnership with BGF will see us combine forces to not only jointly invest in high-potential companies but to use our shared vision as champions of UK enterprise to support scaling businesses with unrivalled networks and expertise.”
Localised was founded in 2017 by Kris Green and Peter Jones. The company builds designs, hosts, operates, markets, and optimizes completely localised ecommerce experiences for brands in foreign markets. Localised is based in Toronto, New York City, Warsaw, London, Bucharest, and Hong Kong.
The company is reshaping how brands and shoppers transact across borders, currencies, languages, and cultures. Localised enables brands to go global by being local in every aspect as they produce entirely localised ecommerce sites in the world’s top markets in 20 days or less with just a product feed. The ecommerce sites produced by Localised are built on top of technology that manages translation, local payments, local pricing, local sizing, local marketing, local merchandising, local customer service, and more without any additional integration.
We believe the work we do at Localised is more important than ever. As sales move increasingly online in all markets, brands need to be relatable to as many customers as possible. We are thrilled that our platform is already helping our customers see gains in new markets in traffic, conversion, demand, repeat visitors, customer satisfaction, and most importantly, new customers. At the end of the day, helping brands connect with more new customers through localised and thoughtful ecommerce is our entire purpose. This investment from BGF and Peter Jones will help Localised realize our own growth ambitions and together with our customers, help us shape the future of how we transact across borders,” said, Kris Green, CEO of Localised.
