Claimlane secures €1.8M seed funding from Vendep Capital to expand across Europe

May 28, 2024

Today, we are excited to announce our latest investment in Claimlane, a cutting-edge platform revolutionizing returns and claims management for furniture and lifestyle brands. Claimlane has successfully closed a EUR 1.8M seed round led by Vendep Capital, a significant milestone that underscores the platform’s potential and the market’s demand for innovation in this space.

Claimlane addresses a critical pain point in the industry: the reliance on spreadsheets and emails to manage returns, faulty products, and delivery issues. This manual approach is inefficient, error-prone, and frustrating for all parties involved, from internal teams to consumers and business partners. Claimlane’s CEO, Anders Sommer-Larsen, emphasizes the company’s mission:

“We aim to automate communication and processes throughout the entire value chain and deliver excellent experiences for all stakeholders. It’s a massive opportunity.”

2023 was a remarkable year for Claimlane, with the company more than doubling its revenues. This momentum is set to continue into 2024, bolstered by new partnerships with well-known brands such as Matas, Silver Cross, and Tonies. The recent seed funding will support Claimlane’s ambitious plans for international expansion, particularly across Europe and the UK.

Claimlane has already established a foothold in the UK, opening a new office and securing its first UK clients, including FFX, The Hut Group, and Cult Furniture. This expansion is not just geographical but also technological. The company plans to deepen the integration of its platform into brands’ backend systems, further automating processes and enhancing efficiency.

Timo Felin, Investment Director at Vendep Capital, expressed confidence in Claimlane’s vision and execution capabilities:

“After seeing what the Claimlane team has achieved in Denmark, we are excited to support them in their global expansion. Customer-centricity and ambition are driving forces in this team, so we look forward to seeing their vision for the B2B return handling space come to life.”
