Genesia Ventures Leads Follow-On Investment in YourTrade’s Pre-Series A Round, Provider of International Distribution Services
Genesia Ventures has made a follow-on investment in YourTrade, provider of international distribution services. The investment was made through Genesia Venture Fund No. 3 (GV-3), with Genesia Ventures leading the Pre-Series A round.
About YourTrade
YourTrade is a startup driving digital transformation in the international distribution sector, specializing in overseas redistribution services. Through data analytics and multi-channel e-commerce (EC) sales, the company enables businesses in general trade and cross-border EC to redistribute their returned and surplus inventory items internationally.
Since launching in Taiwan as its first market, YourTrade has achieved significant growth in monthly distribution volume in just one year, rapidly securing contracts with major Japanese and Taiwanese companies. By introducing this service, items that were previously destined for disposal can now flow back into the market, helping businesses increase revenue while reducing inventory and disposal costs. This approach delivers both economic benefits and environmental sustainability by minimizing waste.
In 2023, YourTrade expanded to the United States — one of the world’s largest e-commerce markets — and plans to extend operations to more regions in the near future.
New Service Launch
In addition to its existing international redistribution services, YourTrade is launching nomino global, a new service for the rapidly growing cross-border EC sector. This service helps businesses sell products across multiple overseas EC platforms faster and more efficiently through data-driven methods that outperform traditional approaches.
With nomino global, businesses can easily connect with international consumers and unlock new business opportunities. The service provides comprehensive support for Japanese companies looking to expand their sales channels abroad, facilitating smooth cross-border EC operations from start to finish, and contributing to the global distribution of Japanese products.
