Covering 13 distinct markets, they address the key challenges facing e-tailers today while helping them adapt and be ready for changing consumer habits,” said Anand Sanwal, CEO of CB Insights. “The winners also highlight the fact that the best technologies driving e-commerce transformation can come from anywhere, as they are from 21 countries, from Canada to Singapore, Brazil to Sweden.

“We are thrilled to be included in CB Insights’ Retail Tech 100 2020 list. This year, e-commerce has changed dramatically. We’ve seen tremendous year-over-year growth and it’s clear that online retail is here to stay,” said Tobias Buxhoidt, CEO of parcelLab. The winning companies are helping retailers navigate this ‘new normal’. We enable e-retailers to communicate with customers when shipping and returning goods. Communication has never been more important to customers. That’s why our emails have seen a huge engagement rate this year. Customers are hungry for up-to-date information on when their order will be received, as confidence in delivery times remains low. We’re excited to be able to provide them with this information and help make online shopping a little easier for both e-tailers and customers.”

  • Startups have raised more than $14 billion in equity funding across 400+ deals from 700+ unique investors. More than half of these companies have raised funds in 2020 (as of 11/20), totaling $4.7 billion.
  • The list includes 19 unicorns (companies that have achieved a valuation of more than $1 billion) that focus on a diverse range of e-commerce technology solutions.
