Hullabalook's Founder explains: 

Bryony Elliott, Co-Founder of B2B software company Hullabalook, explains: 

We are delighted to be partnering with Nauta Capital for this next exciting stage of our growth journey. When we started planning for our Series A funding, our ideal investor was a B2B SaaS specialist, with deep sector knowledge of retail, a strong pan-European presence and a team with whom we could build long-term relationships with. In Nauta Capital we have found the ideal partner to join us on our journey. We couldn’t be happier or more excited for the future.

Hullabalook’s mission is to make retailers’ product catalogues easier to browse and purchase from. Many online shopping journeys look the same as they did a decade ago and traditional navigation processes coupled with ever-expanding product catalogues make product discovery very difficult for consumers. 

Hullabalook has created a new platform that empowers retailers to gain all of the benefits of headless commerce technologies without needing to replatform. The Hullabalook approach of combining a smart product data enrichment engine with a Storefront Progressive Web Application (PWA) Builder, creates shopping experiences which are unrivalled in their speed and fluidity and can be incrementally adopted.

Commenting on the Series A investment, Carles Ferrer, Nauta Capital’s London-based General Partner said: 

We are very happy to be joining Hullabalook on their journey to transform the ecommerce user experience. As an experienced investor in retail enablement technologies, we are confident that this is a space which will continue to see enormous growth and we believe that the Hullabalook team and technology platform are ideally set to capitalise on this market dynamic.
