I hold these truths to be self-evident: Carole Baskin fed her first husband to her tigers and startup fundraising stops for no virus.
Fast raised $20 million in a Series A on its quest to become the Usain Bolt of online checkout tech. Its software allows one-click login to online stores and, eventually, one-click checkout.
- The Stripe-led funding round will help Fast speed up rollout across online stores. For now, only its login service is live.
Yaguara, a data studio for e-comm brands, raised a $7.2 million seed round. Yaguara’s data sets are all-seeing, compiling everything from cart abandonment rates to customer acquisition channels.
- Its backers are a who’s who of D2C: Warby Parker, Harry’s, and Allbirds.
The common thread? Fast and Yaguara enable online businesses to improve their e-comm opps—one by removing pesky credit card entry boxes, the other by packing consumer behavior into bite-sized takeaways.
