The Swedish app for lifestyle shopping has quickly grown to become one of the most popular meeting places for young Swedish women. Reve now enters the next phase of its growth plan, supported by an additional capital injection made by Optimizer Invest, Almi Invest and Wellstreet.
Shopping app Reve was launched in 2014 and has since attracted a third of Swedish young women between 15-25 years of age to join its community. The concept is to offer a seamless shopping experience by gathering the world’s most popular brands and e-commerce stores in one place. With an advanced and smart technology, Reve today indexes over 2 million products that can be purchased.
In addition to offering commerce, the app is also a social community where users get inspiration, create content and engage in lifestyle products and trends. The app has dominated the Swedish App Store in its category on several occasions and holds a leading position among the most downloaded lifestyle apps.
Optimizer Invest has been a shareholder in the company since 2014 and has seen the company grow and tactically develop its business model. In order to make it possible for Reve to grow according to plan, Optimizer Invest makes an additional investment together with the co-owners Almi Invest and Wellstreet of 5 million SEK.
