Pattern, the premier partner for global ecommerce and marketplace acceleration, today announced it received a strategic investment from Knox Lane, a growth-oriented investment firm focused on partnering with businesses in the consumer and services sectors. The $225M minority investment, led by Knox Lane, also included full pro-rata participation from existing investors.
Since its founding in 2013, Pattern has profitably grown to more than 900 employees operating in 18 countries that support more than 100 global brands—including Panasonic, Nestle, Pandora, Sorel, Black Diamond, Zebra, and KONG. Pattern has developed a robust technology and services layer enabling brands to grow exponentially faster and navigate the vast complexities of global marketplaces, direct-to-consumer, and other digital channels. Pattern were also speakers at Tamebay Live last May, sharing their expertise on both Brand Protection and Tmall Global.
“Pattern has become the go-to ecommerce platform for brands. We have a long-standing history of executing for our partners, having retained nearly 100% of our relationships over time. This level of partner satisfaction is unmatched in our industry and is a testament to the significant investments we’ve made to our team and platform. As we continue to deepen our technological capabilities and global reach, we are excited to partner with Knox Lane—a firm that understands our vision and culture, and one that brings extensive experience partnering with tech-enabled services companies. We are grateful to have them join our team and are excited to add their deep bench of resources to help drive our long-term success.”
