Medusa, a Copenhagen, Denmark-based e-commerce platform for Javascript developers, raised an $8m USD Seed funding.
The round was led by LocalGlobe and Dawn Capital, with participation of prominent tech leaders such as Anthony Casalena (Squarespace CEO & founder), Nicolas Dessaigne (Algolia founder), and Scott Williamson (Ex-CPO Gitlab).
The company intends to use the funds to put more resources towards strengthening the core product and further enriching the developer experience. They will move the company along with part of the team to the US as part of the seed financing.
Led by Sebastian Rindom, CEO, Oliver Juhl, CTO, Medusa is an open source composable commerce engine. By combining its open architecture and a headless e-commerce setup, the platform gives merchants control of their stack by connecting to APIs of payment providers, logistics tools, CMSs, and other systems while enabling a native omnichannel setup through its headless architecture. It is developer-oriented and has in less than a year of existence already created a community of +2,000 developers and has +10,000 projects started.
The company, which was founded last Summer where it raised its pre-seed with Seedcamp, operates remotely but is incorporated in Denmark.
