Perch, which buys and operates Amazon.com third-party sellers, raises $775M in a Series A funding round led by SoftBank Group's Vision Fund 2. A specific valuation isn't disclosed, but Perch says it exceeds $1B, making the Boston startup a unicorn, or a privately held startup valued at $1B or more. Spark Capital and Victory Park Capital also participate in the round, which brings Perch's total funding to more than $900M. Perch says it's been profitable since its November 2019 inception, and that it's acquired more than 70 brands since then. SoftBank earlier this month said it was tripling the size of Vision Fund 2, its second giant venture-capital portfolio, to $30B from $10B. (colin.kellaher@wsj.com)

收購併運營亞馬遜(Amazon.com)第三方賣家的Perch在軟銀集團(SoftBank Group)的Vision Fund 2牽頭的首輪融資中籌集了7.75億美元。具體估值沒有披露,但Perch表示估值超過10億美元,使這家波士頓初創公司成為一家獨角獸公司,或者是一家估值在10億美元或更高的私人持股初創公司。星火資本(Spark Capital)和勝利公園資本(Vicory Park Capital)也參與了這輪融資,這使得Perch的總融資超過9億美元。Perch表示,自2019年11月成立以來一直盈利,自那以來已經收購了70多個品牌。軟銀本月早些時候表示,將把其第二大風險投資組合Vision Fund 2的規模擴大兩倍,從100億美元增至300億美元。(colin.kellaher@wsj.com)
