位於堪薩斯城的C2FO初創公司周四宣布，通過收購印度的Priority Vendor，該公司將繼續擴大其全球實力。“這是C2FO印度之旅中的一個重要裏程碑，”C2FO印度地區負責人Pradeep Gode在一份關於收購Priority Vendor的新聞稿中表示，Priority Vendor是印度最大的早期支付平台。該公司表示，此舉使C2FO能夠加強其在流動資本領域的地位，更好地滿足全球客戶的需求。“我們也很高興地歡迎Priority Vendor充滿活力和創業精神的領導和團隊加入C2FO的全球人才庫，”Gode補充道。隨著兩家公司的聯合，它們將為包括宏碁、好市多批發、Flex、家樂氏、億滋、輝瑞和歐迪辦公在內的200多家企業客戶提供服務。該公司表示，此次收購預計將提高買家的現金回報，加強他們的供應鏈，並幫助釋放在印度被困的現金。隨著勢頭的增長，收購Priority Vendor的決定是在8月份C2FO創紀錄的2億美元融資結束後做出的。在宣布融資幾天後，該公司首席財務官Keri Thurston在Startland的頂級風投支持公司慶祝活動上對人群說，該公司的全球合作方式與在印度的合作方式相似，這使得這一成就成為可能。點擊這裏閱讀C2FO高管關於尋求全球資本的建議。該公司由Sandy Kemper於2008年創立，長期以來一直秉持全球視野，拒絕受地理位置的限製，Kemper告訴starland。 “The fact that we operate in as many countries as we do today is testament to the global need for the solution,” he said, noting C2FO’s presence in 173 countries. “It’s one thing to say that you have customers in these countries. It’s another thing to talk about your share of the particular national economy,” he said in light of the round, detailing plans to use the $200 million in a way that would help C2FO build and scale within each country. “In the United States, we have 63 percent of all retail trade coming through our marketplace, and yet we only have 3 or 4 percent of the total economy coming through our marketplace, meaning accounts much larger than just the retailers that sell things.” “So how do we take our existing position and expand upon it?” Kemper pondered. “We’re going to expand where we already operate, to work to capture more share of the market so that companies who need working capital can grow their businesses.” India has quickly emerged as the fastest-growing market for the C2FO online marketplace, the company noted. The fintech startup has also experienced 300 percent year-over-year adoption rates from businesses in India and is confident such a trend will continue over the next five years, they said.
