Exclusive: 60-min fashion delivery startup Slikk to raise $10 Mn led by Nexus Slikk, a fashion delivery platform promising 60-minute delivery, is all set to raise another funding round following its recent seed investment, sources familiar with the matter told Entrackr. "Nexus is spearheading a $10 million funding round at a $40 million valuation," said one of the sources. "The deal has already been finalized, and existing investors are expected to participate." On Tuesday, Slikk announced $3.2 million seed round led by Lightspeed with participation from Multiply Ventures and angel investors including Abhishek Goyal (Tracxn), Abhinav Pathak (Perpule), Madhav Tandan, Nikhil (Panthera), and Saurabh Gupta (DST Global). Slikk targets young, impulse-driven shoppers, including students, professionals, and trend-savvy urbanites influenced by social media. Over the next five years, it plans to expand into tier I and tier II cities, offering 60-minute fashion delivery while diversifying into seven-plus lifestyle categories. The startup features more than 80 brands, including Snitch, The Souled Store, Freakins, Uptownie, Off Duty, Bonkers, and Bewakoof. "Quick commerce is trending, and investors have recently shown strong interest in the fashion segment. With Myntra introducing a 30-minute delivery service for fashion and beauty products, more startups are likely to follow suit and seek funding,” said another source. Slikk declined to comment on the story while queries sent to Nexus did not elicit an immediate response.

url: https://entrackr.com/fintrackr/decoding-snabbits-series-b-round-valuation-and-captable-9331453 Content: Quick service platform Snabbit recently announced its $19 million Series B round led by Lightspeed with the participation of existing investors Nexus Venture Partners and Elevation Capital. The board of Snabbit is set to approve the allotment of 65,165 Series B compulsory convertible preference shares at an issue price of Rs 24,914.93 each, to raise Rs 162.35 crore (approximately $19 million), its regulatory filing accessed from Registrar of Companies (RoC) shows. Lightspeed is expected to invest Rs 94 crore ($11 million), while existing investors Nexus Venture Partners and Elevation Capital will contribute Rs 34.18 crore ($4 million) each. According to Entrackr’s estimates, Snabbit will be valued at Rs 684 crore (around $80 million), a 3.5X increase from its $23 million valuation in the previous Series A round. Founded in 2024 by Aayush Agarwal, Snabbit connects households with trained professionals for on-demand home services like cleaning, dishwashing, and laundry. Experts can be booked by the hour and arrive within 10 minutes. The platform currently hosts over 600 professionals, doubling monthly, according to Agarwal. Following the allotment of the new round, Nexus Venture Partners and Elevation Capital will hold 23.69% and 19.92% stake, respectively, while new investor Lightspeed will own 13.75%. Founder Aayush Agarwal will retain a 36.08% stake in the company. The Mumbai-based company has raised over $25 million across 3 rounds including $5.5 million in Series A round led by Elevation and Nexus earlier this year. Snabbit directly competes with the industry leader Urban Company which recently filed its Draft Red Herring Prospectus (DRHP) with SEBI for a Rs 1,900 crore initial public offer (IPO) and also entered into quick commerce with the launch of 15-minute maid booking service, “Insta Help”. Snabbit also competes with another 10-minute house help service startup, Pronto which raised $2 million from Bain Capital at a valuation of $12.5 million.
