    Detroit-based StockX Closes $110M Series C Led by DST Global, General Atlantic and GGV Capital; Names e-commerce Veteran Scott Cutler CEO Largest VC funding round in Michigan history Co-founder Josh Luber to remain on executive leadership team and board of directors Detroit, Michigan - June 26, 2019 StockX, the world’s first ‘stock market of things’, has closed on a $110 million Series C funding round from investment firms DST Global, General Atlantic, and GGV Capital. The company also announced today the appointment of Scott Cutler as CEO. Cutler succeeds co-founder Josh Luber, who will continue to serve on the executive leadership team and board of directors. The raise, in which current investors GV and Battery Ventures also participated, represents the largest in Michigan VC history to date and values StockX at over $1 billion. The company, which surpassed a $1 billion annual GMV run rate in less than three years, plans to leverage the new investment to further expand its international growth with a specific focus on Europe and the Asian markets. StockX has customers in nearly 200 countries and upwards of 15 million monthly active users. The funding will also allow the brand to diversify its product categories and extend its offline reach with brick-and-mortar locations in key international markets. The first-of-its-kind online ‘bid/ask’ marketplace will focus heavily on product development and will continue to collaborate with some of the world’s foremost brands to release products directly on the StockX platform through its “initial product offerings.” “GGV Capital has long seen the value of investing in e-commerce disruptors and StockX is no exception.

Under the agreement, F J Benjamin will first open a 780 square foot Goyard store at the Peninsula Hotel in the first quarter of 2011. The agreement also gives F J Benjamin the rights to open a store in Singapore upon certain conditions being met. La Maison Goyard, founded in 1853 in Paris, is known to be the oldest trunk maker in existence and is famous for its high-profile clientele, which has included the Royal Court of England, the President of the United States, the Emperor of Russia and the Maharajah of Kapurthala. Other famous clients included Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John D. Rockefeller, Ceaser Ritz, Pablo Picasso, Madonna and Karl Lagerfeld. Nash Benjamin, Group CEO of F J Benjamin, said: “We are honoured to represent the Goyard brand in Hong Kong. Those familiar with the luxury market know that Goyard does not open stores everywhere in the world or trust too many outside the company to retail its products. This deliberately narrow channel policy ensures that it retains its premium positioning, and exemplifies the Goyard approach of ensuring that every detail of its product fabrication bears witness to quality and exclusivity.” Goyard, a brand that eschewed advertising and catwalks for personalised attention as a way to reach customers, was established by Francois Goyard who Page 1 of 3 began as an apprentice malletier in 1845 at Morel, the most renowned company of its ilk within Paris.
